Hi everyone. Hope thi is good place to post that. What I am trying to do is run lm_sensors on Slackware 12 - no success so far :(. With Slackware 12 I'm using binary packages lm_sensors-2.10.3-i486-1 (instead of compiling sources) Hardware that Im trying to run on lm_sensors is - Laptop HP Omnibook 510. I have 2 kernels: - default Slackware 12 kernel - vmlinuz-huge-smp-2.6.21.5-smp - compilled by my self with taht requirements http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/Kernel2.6 This is what happaned when I start "sensors-detect" It looks good for me: ======================================================================== root at hp:/# sensors-detect # sensors-detect revision 4348 (2007-03-18 02:45:21 -0700) 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): Probing for PCI bus adapters... Use driver `i2c-i801' for device 0000:00:1f.3: Intel 82801CA/CAM ICH3 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 1880 (i2c-0) Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively): Client found at address 0x4c Probing for `National Semiconductor LM75'... No Probing for `Dallas Semiconductor DS75'... Success! (confidence 3, driver `lm75') Probing for `Analog Devices ADT7466'... No Probing for `Andigilog aSC7511'... No Probing for `Dallas Semiconductor DS1621'... No Probing for `Analog Devices ADM1021'... No Probing for `Analog Devices ADM1021A/ADM1023'... No Probing for `Maxim MAX1617'... No Probing for `Maxim MAX1617A'... No Probing for `Maxim MAX1668'... No Probing for `Maxim MAX1805'... No Probing for `Maxim MAX1989'... No Probing for `Maxim MAX6655/MAX6656'... No Probing for `TI THMC10'... No Probing for `National Semiconductor LM84'... No Probing for `Genesys Logic GL523SM'... No Probing for `Onsemi MC1066'... No Probing for `Maxim MAX1619'... No Probing for `National Semiconductor LM82/LM83'... No Probing for `National Semiconductor LM90'... No Probing for `National Semiconductor LM89/LM99'... No Probing for `National Semiconductor LM86'... No Probing for `Analog Devices ADM1032'... No Probing for `Maxim MAX6657/MAX6658/MAX6659'... No Probing for `Maxim MAX6648/MAX6692'... No Probing for `National Semiconductor LM63'... No Probing for `Fintek F75363SG'... No Probing for `Maxim MAX6633/MAX6634/MAX6635'... No Probing for `Analog Devices ADT7461'... No Probing for `Fintek F75383S/M'... No Client found at address 0x50 Handled by driver `eeprom' (already loaded), chip type `eeprom' 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): 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 `Silicon Integrated Systems SIS5595'... No Probing for `VIA VT82C686 Integrated Sensors'... No Probing for `VIA VT8231 Integrated 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): Probing for Super-I/O at 0x2e/0x2f Trying family `ITE'... Yes Found unknown chip with ID 0xea11 Trying family `National Semiconductor'... Yes Found `Nat. Semi. PC8739x Super IO' (no hardware monitoring capabilities) Trying family `SMSC'... Yes Found unknown chip with ID 0xea11 Trying family `VIA/Winbond/Fintek'... Yes Found unknown chip with ID 0xea11 Probing for Super-I/O at 0x4e/0x4f Trying family `ITE'... No Trying family `National Semiconductor'... No Trying family `SMSC'... No Trying family `VIA/Winbond/Fintek'... No Some CPUs or memory controllers may also contain embedded sensors. Do you want to scan for them? (YES/no): AMD K8 thermal sensors... No Intel Core family thermal sensor... No Intel AMB FB-DIMM thermal sensor... No Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done. Just press ENTER to continue: Driver `lm75' (should be inserted): Detects correctly: * Bus `SMBus I801 adapter at 1880' Busdriver `i2c-i801', I2C address 0x4c Chip `Dallas Semiconductor DS75' (confidence: 3) Driver `eeprom' (should be inserted): Detects correctly: * Bus `SMBus I801 adapter at 1880' Busdriver `i2c-i801', I2C address 0x50 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 lm75 modprobe eeprom # sleep 2 # optional /usr/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 overwrite /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors? (YES/no): Copy prog/init/lm_sensors.init to /etc/init.d/lm_sensors for initialization at boot time. ======================================================================== I have put proper lines shown above to /etc/modules.conf and /etc/rc.d/rc.local Here is what "lsmod" shows: ======================================================================== root at hp:~# lsmod Module Size Used by eeprom 9616 0 lm75 10384 0 hwmon 6404 1 lm75 snd_seq_dummy 6788 0 snd_seq_oss 32896 0 snd_seq_midi_event 10112 1 snd_seq_oss snd_seq 50640 5 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi_event snd_seq_device 10508 3 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq snd_pcm_oss 42784 0 snd_mixer_oss 18048 1 snd_pcm_oss ipv6 254496 12 nls_utf8 5760 1 ntfs 222016 1 capability 7304 0 commoncap 9344 1 capability lp 13736 0 parport_pc 27812 1 parport 34632 2 lp,parport_pc pcspkr 6528 0 psmouse 39048 0 pcmcia 34452 0 yenta_socket 27148 1 rsrc_nonstatic 13312 1 yenta_socket snd_maestro3 24484 0 snd_ac97_codec 98980 1 snd_maestro3 ac97_bus 6016 1 snd_ac97_codec serio_raw 9220 0 pcmcia_core 36500 3 pcmcia,yenta_socket,rsrc_nonstatic snd_pcm 72068 3 snd_pcm_oss,snd_maestro3,snd_ac97_codec snd_timer 22532 2 snd_seq,snd_pcm snd_page_alloc 11528 1 snd_pcm eepro100 30608 0 snd 47204 9 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,snd_seq_device,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_maestro3,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer mii 8576 1 eepro100 soundcore 9824 1 snd i2c_i801 11408 0 i2c_core 21120 3 eeprom,lm75,i2c_i801 piix 12932 0 [permanent] intel_agp 25116 1 agpgart 31432 1 intel_agp shpchp 33172 0 uhci_hcd 25612 0 iTCO_wdt 12964 0 iTCO_vendor_support 7172 1 iTCO_wdt evdev 11904 0 ext3 122888 1 jbd 55720 1 ext3 mbcache 10628 1 ext3 ======================================================================== And finally... this is what makes me upset: ======================================================================== root at hp:/# sensors -s No sensors found! Make sure you loaded all the kernel drivers you need. Try sensors-detect to find out which these are. ======================================================================== ...and this way also doesnt work: ======================================================================== root at hp:/# sensors No sensors found! Make sure you loaded all the kernel drivers you need. Try sensors-detect to find out which these are. ======================================================================== I have done this same on other hardware and the result is also unsuccessful.
