Ok, here it is, from the newer script: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- # sensors-detect revision $Revision$ This program will help you determine which kernel modules you need to load to use lm_sensors most effectively. 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. Do you want to probe now? (YES/no): YES Probing for PCI bus adapters... Use driver `i2c-i801' for device 00:1f.3: Intel ICH7 Probe successfully concluded. We will now try to load each adapter module in turn. Module `i2c-i801' already loaded. If you have undetectable or unsupported adapters, you can have them scanned by manually loading the modules before running this script. We are now going to do the I2C/SMBus adapter probings. Some chips may 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. Next adapter: SMBus I801 adapter at e8a0 Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively): YES Client found at address 0x08 Client found at address 0x44 Probing for `Maxim MAX6633/MAX6634/MAX6635'... No Client found at address 0x50 Handled by driver `eeprom' (already loaded), chip type `eeprom' Client found at address 0x52 Handled by driver `eeprom' (already loaded), chip type `eeprom' Client found at address 0x69 Some chips are also accessible through the ISA I/O ports. We have to write to arbitrary I/O ports to probe them. 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' at 0x290... No Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78-J' at 0x290... No Probing for `National Semiconductor LM79' at 0x290... No Probing for `Winbond W83781D' at 0x290... No Probing for `Winbond W83782D' at 0x290... No Probing for `Winbond W83627HF' at 0x290... No Probing for `Winbond W83627EHF' at 0x290...

No Probing for `VIA VT8231 Integrated Sensors'... No Probing for `AMD K8 thermal sensors'... No Probing for `IPMI BMC KCS' at 0xca0... No Probing for `IPMI BMC SMIC' at 0xca8... No Some Super I/O chips may also contain sensors. We have to write to standard I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe. Do you want to scan for Super I/O sensors? (YES/no): YES Probing for Super-I/O at 0x2e/0x2f Probing for `ITE IT8702F Sensors'... No (0x7901) Probing for `ITE IT8705F Sensors'... No (0x7901) Probing for `ITE IT8712F Sensors'...

PC87351 Fan Sensors'... No Probing for `SMSC LPC47B27x Fan Sensors'... No Probing for `VIA VT1211 Sensors'... No Probing for `Winbond W83627EHF/EHG Sensors'... No Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done. Just press ENTER to continue: Driver `eeprom' (should be inserted): Detects correctly: * Bus `SMBus I801 adapter at e8a0' Busdriver `i2c-i801', I2C address 0x50 Chip `eeprom' (confidence: 6) * Bus `SMBus I801 adapter at e8a0' Busdriver `i2c-i801', I2C address 0x52 Chip `eeprom' (confidence: 6) EEPROMs are *NOT* sensors! They are data storage chips commonly found on memory modules (SPD), in monitors (EDID), or in some laptops, for example. I will now generate the commands needed to load the required modules. Just press ENTER to continue: 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-i801 # Chip drivers modprobe eeprom # sleep 2 # optional /usr/local/bin/sensors -s # recommended #----cut here---- If you have some drivers 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 the needed modules are loaded. Do you want to generate /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors? (yes/NO): NO ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- That's exactly what I had from the first ever run. I am not sure why subsequent runs refused to find any chip (A bug in older sensors-detect) but this is what it found the very first time and I had set it up with these in /etc/conf.d/lm_sensors (gentoo diversion, /etc/init.d/lm_sensors reads it, I think) and /etc/modules.conf. Obviously, 'sensors' still comes out with 'No sensors found!' even when all the modules are loaded properly. -Sunil On 9/1/06, Sunil Kumar <devsku at gmail.com> wrote: > > sure, I will give the new one a try. > > BIOS doesn't have any hardwar monitoring information. its a dell, what do > ya expect...;-) > > > On 9/1/06, Jean Delvare <khali at linux-fr.org> wrote: > > > > Sunil, > > > > > yeah, I messed up a bit. i2c-dev is indeed a module and I didn't > > modprobe it > > > before I ran sensors-detect. > > > > > > But doesn't make much difference.
