Well, I happen to work for HP, different organization though. But we're about to be using the DL385 out of ISS to integrate into our product line. We'll be running Debian and we need to be able to read temp and fan information but we'll rely on hp tools to get there (not my choice). Anyways, we might have a business need to get the source and I might be able to pass some information along. No promise though since we're pretty uptight about those things (not my choice either). Anyways, let me know what you want to know and I'll see what I can do... ...juerg On 12/22/06, Jean Delvare <khali at linux-fr.org> wrote: > Hi Thomas, > > On Sat, 25 Nov 2006 17:34:42 -0500, Thomas Brown wrote: > > Anyone have any luck getting lm_sensors to work with the HP/Compaq > > ProLiant DL series (i.e. DL380)?
