Hi List, i just setup lm-sensors out of the stable branch of debian etch without problems. sensors-detect prints: bucht:/home/sb/linux-2.6.24# sensors-detect # sensors-detect revision 4171 (2006-09-24 03:37:01 -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): yes Probing for PCI bus adapters... Sorry, no known PCI bus adapters found. We will now try to load each adapter module in turn. 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. 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 `Winbond W83627HF' 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 `AMD K8 thermal 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'... No Trying family `National Semiconductor'... No Trying family `SMSC'... No Trying family `VIA/Winbond/Fintek'... No 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'... Yes Found `Winbond W83627DHG Super IO Sensors' Success! (address 0x290, driver `w83627ehf') Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done. Just press ENTER to continue: Driver `w83627ehf' (should be inserted): Detects correctly: * ISA bus address 0x0290 (Busdriver `i2c-isa') Chip `Winbond W83627DHG Super IO Sensors' (confidence: 9) 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: #----cut here---- # I2C adapter drivers # Chip drivers w83627ehf #----cut here---- Do you want to add these lines to /etc/modules automatically? (yes/NO)yes bucht:/home/sb/linux-2.6.24# Even though i load the modules, sensors did not generate any output. Entries in /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/ has been made, but they are not available through sensors. Do i have to tune anything else? Please see the output of lsmod here[1]. The output of sensors is: bucht:/home/sb/linux-2.6.24# sensors w83627dhg-isa-0290 Adapter: ISA adapter coretemp-isa-0000 Adapter: ISA adapter Any help is greatly appreciated -- stefan [1] http://rafb.net/p/FH9Uc433.html
