You need to have i2c and lm_sensors installed before running this program. Also, you need to be `root', or at least have access to the /dev/i2c-* files, for most things. If you have patched your kernel and have some drivers built in, you can safely answer NO if asked to load some modules. In this case, things may seem a bit confusing, but they will still work. It is generally safe and recommended to accept the default answers to all questions, unless you know what you're doing. We can start with probing for (PCI) I2C or SMBus adapters. You do not need any special privileges for this. Do you want to probe now? (YES/no): yes Probing for PCI bus adapters... Use driver `i2c-nforce2' for device 00:01.1: nVidia Corporation nForce4 SMBus (MCP55) Probe successfully concluded. We will now try to load each adapter module in turn. Module `i2c-nforce2' already loaded. If you have undetectable or unsupported adapters, you can have them scanned by manually loading the modules before running this script. To continue, we need module `i2c-dev' to be loaded. If it is built-in into your kernel, you can safely skip this. i2c-dev is already loaded. We are now going to do the adapter probings. Some adapters may hang halfway through; we can't really help that. Also, some chips will be double detected; we choose the one with the highest confidence value in that case. If you found that the adapter hung after probing a certain address, you can specify that address to remain unprobed. That often includes address 0x69 (clock chip). Some chips are also accessible through the ISA I/O ports. ISA probes are typically a bit more dangerous, as we have to write to I/O ports to do this. This is usually safe though. Yes, you do have ISA I/O ports even if you do not have any ISA slots! Do you want to scan the ISA I/O ports? (YES/no): yes Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78' Trying address 0x0290... Failed! Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78-J' Trying address 0x0290... Failed! Probing for `National Semiconductor LM79' Trying address 0x0290... Failed!

(confidence 9, driver `k8temp') Probing for `IPMI BMC KCS' Trying address 0x0ca0... Failed! Probing for `IPMI BMC SMIC' Trying address 0x0ca8... Failed! Some Super I/O chips may also contain sensors. Super I/O probes are typically a bit more dangerous, as we have to write to I/O ports to do this. This is usually safe though. Do you want to scan for Super I/O sensors? (YES/no): yes Probing for `ITE 8702F Super IO Sensors' Failed! (0x8716) Probing for `ITE 8705F Super IO Sensors' Failed! (0x8716) Probing for `ITE 8712F Super IO Sensors' Failed!

(skipping family) Probing for `Winbond W83627EHF/EHG Super IO Sensors' Failed! (skipping family) Do you want to scan for secondary Super I/O sensors?

(skipping family) Probing for `SMSC 47B27x Super IO Fan Sensors' Failed! (skipping family) Probing for `VT1211 Super IO Sensors' Failed! (skipping family) Probing for `Winbond W83627EHF/EHG Super IO Sensors' Failed! (skipping family) Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done. Just press ENTER to continue: Driver `k8temp' (should be inserted): Detects correctly: * ISA bus, undetermined address (Busdriver `i2c-isa') Hint: Try forcing the chip address. Consult the documentation of particular chip for details and address value. Chip `AMD K8 thermal sensors' (confidence: 9) Driver `it87' (should be inserted): Detects correctly: * ISA bus address 0x0290 (Busdriver `i2c-isa') Chip `ITE IT8716F Super IO Sensors' (confidence: 9) I will now generate the commands needed to load the required modules. To make the sensors modules behave correctly, add these lines to /etc/modules.conf: #----cut here---- # I2C module options alias char-major-89 i2c-dev #----cut here---- To load everything that is needed, add this to some /etc/rc* file: #----cut here---- # I2C adapter drivers modprobe i2c-isa # Chip drivers # Warning: the required module k8temp is not currently installed on your system. # For status of 2.6 kernel ports see http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/SupportedDevices # If driver is built-in to the kernel, or unavailable, comment out the following line. modprobe k8temp modprobe it87 # sleep 2 # optional /usr/local/bin/sensors -s # recommended #----cut here---- WARNING! If you have some things built into your kernel, the list above will contain too many modules. Skip the appropriate ones! You really should try these commands right now to make sure everything is working properly. Monitoring programs won't work until it's done. Do you want to generate /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors? (YES/no): n snap ============ Btw.. do you have any idea, why "i2cdetect" doesnt detect anything.. like the EEPROMS at the memory modules... Regards Juergen
