Hi folks, I'm hoping someone can hep me out pls. I've installed lm-sensors in the past in 2.4 kernels and it all just worked. But I cannot for the life of me understand what is happening with or figure out what I need for my CentOS 5 / 2.6 kernel install. I have read snippets which "SEEM" to indicate all of the modules I need are already compiled into or modularised with the base 2.6 Kernel (CentOS is of course a downline from RedHat EL), but don't really make it clear. When looking in 'make menuconfig', the modules listed as required for lm-sensors don't seem to match up with what I read. I've read on the lm-sensors site that I "MAY" need a different driver with the XEON CPU, but I can't figure out how to tell and don't want to mess up a new install. When running sensors-detect, it appears to fail to find just about everything. Basically, the abridged output of sensors-detect is as follows; ========================================= Probing for PCI bus adapters... Sorry, no PCI bus adapters found. i2c-dev is not loaded. Do you want to load it now? (YES/no): Module loaded succesfully. Next adapter: SMBus I801 adapter at 2000 Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively): Client found at address 0x08 Client found at address 0x10 Client found at address 0x30 Client found at address 0x32 Client found at address 0x44 Probing for `Maxim MAX6633/MAX6634/MAX6635'... Failed! Client found at address 0x50 Probing for `SPD EEPROM'... Success! (confidence 8, driver `eeprom') Probing for `DDC monitor'... Failed! Probing for `Maxim MAX6900'... Failed! Client found at address 0x52 Probing for `SPD EEPROM'... Success! (confidence 8, driver `eeprom') Client found at address 0x69 Do you want to scan the ISA bus? (YES/no): Probing for `IPMI BMC KCS' Trying address 0x0ca0... Success! (confidence 4, driver `bmcsensors') [KL] ALL OTHERS FAILED. Do you want to scan for Super I/O sensors? (YES/no): [KL] ALL FAILED. Do you want to scan for secondary Super I/O sensors? (YES/no): [KL] ALL FAILED Driver `eeprom' (should be inserted): Detects correctly: * Bus `SMBus I801 adapter at 2000' Busdriver `i2c-i801', I2C address 0x50 Chip `SPD EEPROM' (confidence: 8) * Bus `SMBus I801 adapter at 2000' Busdriver `i2c-i801', I2C address 0x52 Chip `SPD EEPROM' (confidence: 8) Driver `bmcsensors' (should be inserted): Detects correctly: * ISA bus address 0x0ca0 (Busdriver `i2c-isa') Chip `IPMI BMC KCS' (confidence: 4) [KL] It then offers up the changes to rc.local and modprobe.conf. But within that, there's # Warning: the required module bmcsensors is not currently installed on your system. # For status of 2.6 kernel ports see http://secure.netroedge.com/~lm78/supported.html # If driver is built-in to the kernel, or unavailable, comment out the following line. modprobe bmcsensors [KL] How can it detect a driver if it's apparently NOT installed on the system. Where do I get hold of the correct bmcsensors module? =========================================== Can I ask any one of you to help out pls and ask me the right questions so I know/can figure out just what the hell I should be looking for? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Kind Regards Kyle
