[root@yogi root]# sensors-detect This program will help you to determine which I2C/SMBus modules you need to load to use lm_sensors most effectively. You need to have done a `make install', issued a `depmod -a' and made sure `/etc/conf.modules' (or `/etc/modules.conf') contains the appropriate module path before you can use some functions of this utility. Read doc/modules for more information. Also, you need to be `root', or at least have access to the /dev/i2c[-/]* files for some things. You can use prog/mkdev/mkdev.sh to create these /dev files if you do not have them already. If you have patched your kernel and have some drivers built-in you can safely answer NO if asked to load some modules. In this case, things may seem a bit confusing, but they will still work. IF THIS IS AN IBM THINKPAD, PRESS CTRL-C NOW! IBM Thinkpads have a severely broken i2c/SMBus implementation, just scanning the bus will break your thinkpad forever! We can start with probing for (PCI) I2C or SMBus adapters. You do not need any special privileges for this. Do you want to probe now? (YES/no): Probing for PCI bus adapters... Sorry, no PCI bus adapters found. We will now try to load each adapter module in turn. Do you now want to be prompted for non-detectable adapters? (yes/NO): To continue, we need module `i2c-dev' to be loaded. If it is built-in into your kernel, you can safely skip this. i2c-dev is not loaded. Do you want to load it now? (YES/no): Module loaded succesfully. We are now going to do the adapter probings. Some adapters may hang halfway through; we can't really help that. Also, some chips will be double detected; we choose the one with the highest confidence value in that case. If you found that the adapter hung after probing a certain address, you can specify that address to remain unprobed. That often includes address 0x69 (clock chip). Some chips are also accessible through the ISA bus. ISA probes are typically a bit more dangerous, as we have to write to I/O ports to do this. Do you want to scan the ISA bus?

Just press ENTER to continue: I will now generate the commands needed to load the I2C modules. Sometimes, a chip is available both through the ISA bus and an I2C bus. ISA bus access is faster, but you need to load an additional driver module for it. If you have the choice, do you want to use the ISA bus or the I2C/SMBus (ISA/smbus)? WARNING! If you have some things built into your kernel, the below list will contain too many modules. Skip the appropriate ones! To load everything that is needed, add this to some /etc/rc* file: #----cut here---- # I2C adapter drivers # I2C chip drivers #----cut here---- To make the sensors modules behave correctly, add these lines to either /etc/modules.conf or /etc/conf.modules: #----cut here---- # I2C module options alias char-major-89 i2c-dev #----cut here---- > (Although there are better ways to set up the modules than what it > suggests). I hope so........can't believe there are no sensors near a p4... :-( Piero -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
