I wonder if you could set these register values only on this specific
motherboard by checking the DMI table to determine the motherboard
vendor and model number.
This is what I currently do using dmidecode in /etc/init.d/lm_sensors,
because I too fear to forget about this and accidently wreck a new
mainboard I'm going to buy in the future:
# We need to do some initialization before loading the module,
# otherwise only 2 of the 5 fans will be shown
init_module_w83627ehf() {
modprobe -q -r w83627ehf
# make sure to do this only for the right mainboard
if /usr/sbin/dmidecode | grep -i 'Base Board Information' -A2 -B1 |
grep -q 'P67 Extreme4' \
&& /usr/sbin/dmidecode | grep -i 'BIOS Information' -A3 | grep
-q 'Version: L1.61'&& \
dmidecode -s is your friend ;) Namely -s baseboard-product-name and -s
bios-version.
To be honest, I didn't care enough to optimize a one-time call at
startup, even if it looks terribly ugly.
Oh, and I almost forgot: the same info is typically available
from /sys/class/dmi/id/* for even cheaper.
Thanks, that's really helpful! It helps me to get rid of the dmidecode
dependence and I've learned something new ;-)
Regards,
Harald
