However this does not > fix the problem. The sensors tool does not complain btw: This #34 is the libsensors feature number for the feature which is causing trouble. You can't use it in sensors.conf, as sensors.conf wants feature names, not numbers. From lib/chips.h: #define SENSORS_W83627EHF_FAN4 34 /* R */ So the problem is with fan4. If you want to ignore something, that would be fan4. I am not certain whether this is enough to make sensord happy though. Try adding: ignore fan4 to the w83627ehf configuration section and see if it helps. The cause of the problem is that the w83627ehf driver in Linux 2.6 hides some inputs when the chip is configured to use the pins in question for other functions. The idea is to make the configuration easier. sensord in lm-sensors 2 isn't smart enough to cope with possibly missing inputs though, thus the error. > w83627ehf-isa-0290 > Adapter: ISA adapter > VCore: +1.59 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +1.85 V) > in1: +12.04 V (min = +1.80 V, max = +0.00 V) ALARM > AVCC: +3.38 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +0.00 V) ALARM > 3VCC: +3.36 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +0.00 V) ALARM > in4: +1.32 V (min = +0.01 V, max = +0.00 V) ALARM > in5: +1.71 V (min = +0.26 V, max = +0.06 V) ALARM > in6: +4.28 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +0.00 V) ALARM > VSB: +3.38 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +0.00 V) ALARM > VBAT: +3.28 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +0.00 V) ALARM > in9: +1.26 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +0.00 V) ALARM > Case Fan: 0 RPM (min = 0 RPM, div = 128) ALARM > CPU Fan: 2463 RPM (min = 0 RPM, div = 4) ALARM > Aux Fan: 0 RPM (min = 0 RPM, div = 128) ALARM > fan5: 0 RPM (min = 0 RPM, div = 128) > Sys Temp: +27?C (high = +0?C, hyst = +0?C) [thermistor] ALARM > CPU Temp: +9.0?C (high = +80.0?C, hyst = +75.0?C) [CPU diode ] > AUX Temp: +77.5?C (high = +80.0?C, hyst = +75.0?C) [thermistor] > > > How can I fix this? This is all solved in lm-sensors 3, if you can upgrade. The changes required are too intrusive to be ported back to lm-sensors 2. -- Jean Delvare
