Yani,
I see. I would very much like to test new code :) I'm now running a
lm-sensors svn snapshot from yesterday, after Jean Delvare said that
there was an bug in the earlier lm-sensors causing sensor channel
numbers to be shifted. Upgrading to latest svn snapshot made my voltages
look better (but still not good), while all but one temperature got
divided by 10 (!).
ipmitool doesn't work, I guess because my board only supports IPMI 0.9.
But ipmiutil somehow works (partly). I cuts some of the sensor names,
and doesn't give human readable values, but when I for instance remove a
fan, the value changes to 0000 at the end. (And the name of the fan is
the same as the name on the pcb where I unplug it (same goes with
PSU's), so it surely makes some sense).
This is from lm-sensors:
bmc-isa-0003
Adapter: ISA adapter
SCSI-N Volt:
+1.33 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +0.00 V)
Baseboard 1.5V:
+1.98 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +0.00 V)
Baseboard 2.5V:
+1.87 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +0.00 V)
Baseboard 3.3V:
+3.06 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +0.00 V)
Baseboard 12V:
+15.68 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +0.00 V)
Baseboard 5V:
+4.79 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +0.00 V)
Baseboard -12V:
-12.11 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +0.00 V)
PwrShare Fan 3:
4740 RPM (min = 0 RPM)
PwrShare Fan 2:
2550 RPM (min = 0 RPM)
PwrShare Fan 1:
2550 RPM (min = 0 RPM)
Baseboard Fan 6:
2610 RPM (min = 0 RPM)
Baseboard Fan 7:
2730 RPM (min = 0 RPM)
Baseboard Fan 8:
2850 RPM (min = 0 RPM)
Baseboard Fan 5:
2880 RPM (min = 0 RPM)
Baseboard Fan 3:
2730 RPM (min = 0 RPM)
Baseboard Fan 4:
3000 RPM (min = 0 RPM)
Baseboard Fan 1:
2760 RPM (min = 0 RPM)
PwrShare Temp:
-12.8 C (high = +0 C, hyst = +0 C)
Processor 4 Temp:
+6.1 C (high = +0 C, hyst = +0 C)
Processor 3 Temp:
+2.6 C (high = +0 C, hyst = +0 C)
Processor 2 Temp:
+2.7 C (high = +0 C, hyst = +0 C)
Processor 1 Temp:
+2.5 C (high = +0 C, hyst = +0 C)
Basebrd PXB Temp:
+2.5 C (high = +0 C, hyst = +0 C)
Basebrd PCI Temp:
+3.1 C (high = +0 C, hyst = +0 C)
And here is the ipmiutil sensor output. As you can see, the "comp"
sensors gets their name cut. But ipmisensors can read the whole name,
like: ipmisensors: skipping non-threshold sensor "PwrShare Sup 1"
ipmiutil ver 2.0

If you feel very interested, and it would help you, you can get access to this system for debug and/or testing.
Thanks for a great module, and hopefully you will with time get this working as well ;)
Really appreciated!
