Hello. I couldn't find ipmisensors module for 2.6.24 kernel, so I tried to port ipmisensors-20060805-0622.diff After a bit of hacking and guesswork I managed to modify it that it compiles cleanly on 2.6.24 from Ubuntu 8.04.2 (2.6.24-23.48). The diff is here: http://tomasz.sterna.tv/stuff/Linux/ipmisensors-20090209-0624.diff But after loading the ipmisensors module: # lsmod | grep ipmi ipmi_poweroff 10540 0 ipmi_watchdog 20820 0 ipmi_devintf 10248 0 ipmisensors 19592 0 ipmi_si 43788 2 ipmi_msghandler 39384 5 ipmi_poweroff,ipmi_watchdog,ipmi_devintf,ipmisensors,ipmi_si I still get no sensors: # sensors No sensors found! Make sure you loaded all the kernel drivers you need. There are some sensors in: # ipmitool -I open sdr list Fan 1 | 11 unspecified | nc Fan 2 | 11 unspecified | nc Fan 3 | 11 unspecified | nc Fan 4 | 11 unspecified | nc PCI Fan | 6 unspecified | nc
