Good Morning,
Apologies in advance as I realise the subject of this email may be slightly outdated and the driver I'm referring to was created some time ago (back in 2009!) but I've reached a dead-end trying to get reliable sensor readings from a new ASUS server (ASUS ESC4000), and was hoping someone might be able to help.
The issue I'm having is that lm-sensors only reads back realistic values for about 10% of the time. The rest of the time all fanspeeds default to 90,000rpm and all temperatures to -0.2degrees and over 80degrees, which are obviously incorrect. I've tried using the latest version of lm-sensors and the w83795 driver but keep running into this problem. The w83795 driver provided on the lm-sensorswiki/Devices is the same as that provided for this server via the ASUS website.
I'm using Linux CentOS 5.4 with a 2.6.18-164.el5 kernel (which isn't listed as being supported by this driver unfortunately - probably part of the issue). I've also seen similar problems, although mostly involving sensor values locking-up, when using this driver and ipmi-tools or similar hardware monitoring utilities.
I was wondering if you knew of any updated versions of this driver, or alternatives I could try at all. Any sort of advice at all would be massively appreciated!
Thanks for your time,
Will
