If there are sensor chips connected to the SMBus, you cannot reach them until the SMBus itself works. Try upgrading the BIOS as suggested. Or try using force_addr as instructed, just make sure you pick an unused I/O area (check in /proc/ioports.) But it is also possible that the sensor chips are hidden elsewhere, and the SMBus isn't used, and that's why it is disabled. I can't tell. You'd need to ask the manufacturer for technical information. > HP has a utility to read data from the Internal Lights Out Management board: > # hplog -t > ID TYPE LOCATION STATUS CURRENT THRESHOLD > 1 ADM1022 Processor Zone Nominal 113F/ 45C 143F/ 62C > 2 ADM1022 CPU (1) Nominal 113F/ 45C 156F/ 69C > 3 ADM1022 I/O Zone Nominal 113F/ 45C 145F/ 63C > 4 ADM1022 CPU (2) Nominal 111F/ 44C 156F/ 69C > 5 ADM1022 Pwr. Supply Bay Nominal 100F/ 38C 129F/ 54C The driver for the ADM1022 (thmc50) wasn't ported to Linux 2.6 yet, only Linux 2.4 is supported. Not that it really matters until you can actually reach these chips. > > # hplog -f > ID TYPE LOCATION STATUS REDUNDANT FAN SPEED > 1 Var. Speed Processor Zone Nominal Yes Low ( 10) > 2 Var.

Supply Bay Absent No Do you have the source code of that tool? If you do, just check where it gets the information from. I also invite you to bug HP themselves about it. Ask them why lm_sensors doesn't work with their hardware, see what they answer. -- Jean Delvare
