Hi, I am new to this list and hopefully this is not too stupid... I have this new server based on the Asus DSBF-DE/SAS motherboard and a pair of Xeons 5355. I want to run CentOS 5.0 (RHEL 5 clone) on it. CentOS 5.0 is based on the 2.6.18 kernel and as such has drivers for everything *except* for the sensors. The motherboard uses 83793 chip. So, I wanted to backport the w83793 and coretemp drivers to 2.6.18 kernel. I took the source from 2.6.22.3 for these two and tried to compile them for 2.6.18. The w83793 compiles and loads as is, without any changes. coretemp required some changes related to msr so I just restored the code that was in there when coretemp was floating around as a patch before it made it to the kernel. See the attached patch for detail. Anyway, with those changes both coretemp and w83793 compile and load. I also copied sensors.conf from 2.10.4 and ran "sensors -s". However, neither is providing any data. Output looks like this: $ sensors coretemp-isa-0000 Adapter: ISA adapter coretemp-isa-0001 Adapter: ISA adapter coretemp-isa-0002 Adapter: ISA adapter coretemp-isa-0003 Adapter: ISA adapter coretemp-isa-0004 Adapter: ISA adapter coretemp-isa-0005 Adapter: ISA adapter coretemp-isa-0006 Adapter: ISA adapter coretemp-isa-0007 Adapter: ISA adapter w83793-i2c-0-2f Adapter: SMBus I801 adapter at 1100 $ Am I missing something obvious? I did verify that I can get good sensor reading on this motherboard using Fedora 7 and 2.6.22 kernel but that's not what I want to run in production. Any help will be appreciated.
