Never use native hwmon drivers together with IPMI. They access the same device in a non-synchronized manner, resulting in reads from / write to the wrong register. The problem your describe is most certainly caused by this. If your system uses IPMI, don't load native hwmon drivers. > On a slight aside, I am unable to set the div values on my fans and the > associated /sys/class/hwmon4/device/fanX_div files are read-only. This is by driver design, the w83627ehf driver tries to be smart and to pick the best clock divider value for you automatically. > As these values change causing ALARMs to be thrown in the sensors output, > there is no related events in the IPMI sensor logs. > > Any help appreciated! -- Jean Delvare _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
