I am not familiar with the A10 CPUs. Are those similar to K10 ? If so, maybe the k10temp driver works or could be extended to support it. Can you give it a try ? If it does not work out of the box, can you send me the output of "lspci -nn" ? Kapil: I believe K10 corresponds to A8 seried, and A10 has Bulldozer architecture (http://www.cpu-world.com/__CPUs/Bulldozer/TYPE-A10-__Series.html <http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Bulldozer/TYPE-A10-Series.html>). I am not sure how different they are though. I tried K10, but it did not work out of the box. I am looking into k10temp.c driver now. Also,I am attaching the output of "lspci -nn" command herewith; you might have to open it using wordpad for proper formatting.. Your lspci output includes 00:18.3 Host bridge [0600]: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] Device [1022:1403] which is supported by the latest k10temp driver. Support was added early last year. What is your kernel version, and can you switch to a more recent version ? Kapil: I have 2.6.39-020639-generic kernel. Is it too old kernel for k10temp driver to work? Which stable kernel should I upgrade to?
You need 3.4 or later. Guenter _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
