Hi, just another desparate user that wrung out lm-sensors.org, Google & Co. ;-) First of all: I don't really have a problem, because lm-sensors work on my baby But: There is some spamming in the kernel log (see subject and below) ----- Now lets hear the details: My system: 1x Intel Xeon DP E5506 ..on Tyan S7002WGM2NR-LE (one CPU slot free) ..using KVR1066D3Q8R7SK3/12G as short-term memory ..with several SATA drives attached ..running Debian 2.6.26-17lenny2 As far as I understand aptitude, I installed: lm-sensors 3.0.2-1+b2 ..with libc6 2.7-18 ..and libsensors4 3.0.2-1+b2 ..and perl 5.10.0-19lenny2 ..and sed 4.1.5-6 ----- What I modified in sensors3.conf: [..] chip "lm78-*" "lm79-*" "w83781d-*" [..] ignore in0 ignore in1 ignore in2 ignore in3 ignore in4 ignore in5 ignore in6 [..] ignore fan1 ignore fan2 ignore fan3 ignore temp1 ignore cpu0_vid [..] chip "w83793-*" [..] ignore fan6 ignore fan7 ignore fan8 ignore fan9 ignore fan10 ignore fan11 ignore fan12 # This we have to reactivate when there is a second cpu installed.. ignore temp2 ignore temp5 [..] Remarks: ignored anything from lm78.. because I got only rubbish from there - but Winbond works fine, nothing more that I need. ----- Output of "sensors" command gives me pretty good values (except min/max but I'm not keen on that): me@myserver:~$ sensors lm78-i2c-0-2d Adapter: SMBus I801 adapter at 0400 w83793-i2c-0-2f Adapter: SMBus I801 adapter at 0400 VCoreA: +1.21 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +2.05 V) VCoreB: +0.00 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +2.05 V) Vtt: +1.09 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +2.05 V) in3: +1.47 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +4.08 V) in4: +1.07 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +4.08 V) +3.3V: +3.28 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +4.08 V) +12V: +11.71 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +24.48 V) +5V: +4.90 V (min = +0.15 V, max = +6.27 V) 5VSB: +4.88 V (min = +0.15 V, max = +6.27 V) VBAT: +3.18 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +4.08 V) fan1: 525 RPM (min = 0 RPM) fan2: 0 RPM (min = 0 RPM) fan3: 775 RPM (min = 0 RPM) fan4: 1131 RPM (min = 0 RPM) fan5: 703 RPM (min = 0 RPM) CPU1 Temp: +71.2°C (high = +100.0°C, hyst = +95.0°C) sensor = Intel PECI temp6: +49.0°C (high = +100.0°C, hyst = +95.0°C) sensor = thermistor beep_enable:disabled Remarks: don't wonder CPU temp, this is fully on load for more than 2 days now ;-) ----- Now, all that I need works thats good ... but lets have a look at my kernel log: me@myserver:~$ tail /var/log/kern.log Sep 15 21:49:59 server7even3 kernel: [2670913.842602] i801_smbus 0000:00:1f.3: Bus collision!

I do not really get to the point on what is causing those messages, because: - I got readings (any other occurrence of this message I found got no sensor readings) - I added only "ignores" to sensors3.conf (did I confused the kernel because I ignored anything from lm78??) - There is no time schema I can identify, the messages seem to occur really arbitrary What I did not do until now (I apologize, but have reasons): - Restart of system (I don't want to restart because I think that message will come back) - stopped sensord (because of the need to monitor the cpu temp, you know..) Further: - I installed phpsysinfo as well. Anything evil with that maybe? Long story, short question: any hints?
