fred_the_fish Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 Anyone care to explain exactly how to get it working for an Abit SR7-8X mobo? I can't seem to find anything off google about this board, and don't understand everything I've read - lm-sensors webby says to just install and do nothing else... but that doesn't appear to work.. me being I'm sure...

aRTee Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 Could you be a slight bit more specific as to what you have done and where things go wrong? See also my config page, at which step does it not work for you anymore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred_the_fish Posted March 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 (edited) Ok... running sensor-detect 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): yes Probing for PCI bus adapters... Use driver `i2c-sis645' for device 00:00.0: Silicon Integrated Systems SIS648 Probe succesfully concluded. We will now try to load each adapter module in turn. Load `i2c-sis645' (say NO if built into your kernel)? (YES/no): yes FATAL: Module i2c-sis645 not found. Loading failed... skipping. Do you now want to be prompted for non-detectable adapters? (yes/NO): yes Load `i2c-elektor' (say NO if built into your kernel)? (YES/no): yes FATAL: Error inserting i2c-elektor (/lib/modules/2.6.2-3mdk/kernel/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-elektor.ko.gz): No such device Loading failed... skipping. Load `i2c-elv' (say NO if built into your kernel)? (YES/no): yes Module loaded succesfully. Load `i2c-philips-par' (say NO if built into your kernel)? (YES/no): yes Module loaded succesfully. Load `i2c-velleman' (say NO if built into your kernel)? (YES/no): yes FATAL: Error inserting i2c-velleman (/lib/modules/2.6.2-3mdk/kernel/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-velleman.ko.gz): No such device Loading failed... skipping. 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 already loaded. 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). Next adapter: ELV Parallel port adaptor (Algorithm unavailable) Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively): yes And at this stage, it hangs Mobo is SR7-8X, using an SIS648 chipset Edited March 17, 2004 by fred_the_fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred_the_fish Posted March 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 What I have found out, is that there is an lm_sensors file in init.d, and in rc5.d. This file appears to hold everything already that sensor-detect tells me to add, but running service lm_sensors start starts it, but tells me "no sensors found" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aRTee Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 Whatabout if you answer no instead of yes, at the point where it hangs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred_the_fish Posted March 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 If I say no.. Next adapter: ELV Parallel port adaptor (Algorithm unavailable)Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively): no 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? (YES/no): yes Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78' Trying address 0x0290... Failed! Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78-J' Trying address 0x0290... Failed! Probing for `National Semiconductor LM79' Trying address 0x0290... Failed! Probing for `Winbond W83781D' Trying address 0x0290... Failed! Probing for `Winbond W83782D' Trying address 0x0290... Failed! Probing for `Winbond W83627HF' Trying address 0x0290... Failed! Probing for `Winbond W83697HF' Trying address 0x0290... Success! (confidence 8, driver `w83781d') Probing for `Silicon Integrated Systems SIS5595' Trying general detect... Failed! Probing for `VIA Technologies VT82C686 Integrated Sensors' Trying general detect... Failed! Probing for `VIA Technologies VT8231 Integrated Sensors' Trying general detect... Failed! Probing for `ITE IT8705F / IT8712F / SiS 950' Trying address 0x0290... Failed! Probing for `IPMI BMC KCS' Trying address 0x0ca0... Failed! Probing for `IPMI BMC SMIC' Trying address 0x0ca8... Failed! Some Super I/O chips may also contain sensors. Super I/O probes are typically a bit more dangerous, as we have to write to I/O ports to do this. Do you want to scan for Super I/O sensors? (YES/no): yes Probing for `ITE 8712F Super IO Sensors' Failed! (0xffff) Probing for `SMSC 47M10x Super IO Fan Sensors' Failed! Probing for `SMSC 47M14x Super IO Fan Sensors' Failed! Probing for `VT1211 Super IO Sensors' Failed! (0x60) Probing for `Winbond W83627HF Super IO Sensors' Failed! (0x60) Probing for `Winbond W83627THF Super IO Sensors' Failed! (0x60) Probing for `Winbond W83637HF Super IO Sensors' Failed! (0x60) Probing for `Winbond W83697HF Super IO Sensors' Success... found at address 0x0290 Probing for `Winbond W83697UF Super IO PWM' Failed! (0x60) Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done. Just press ENTER to continue: Driver `w83781d' (may not be inserted): Misdetects: * ISA bus address 0x0290 (Busdriver `i2c-isa') Chip `Winbond W83697HF' (confidence: 8) Driver `w83627hf' (should be inserted): Detects correctly: * ISA bus address 0x0290 (Busdriver `i2c-isa') Chip `Winbond W83697HF Super IO Sensors' (confidence: 9) 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)? ISA To make the sensors modules behave correctly, add these lines to /etc/modules.conf: #----cut here---- # I2C module options alias char-major-89 i2c-dev #----cut here---- To load everything that is needed, add this to some /etc/rc* file: #----cut here---- # I2C adapter drivers modprobe i2c-isa # I2C chip drivers modprobe w83627hf # sleep 2 # optional /usr/local/bin/sensors -s # recommended #----cut here---- WARNING! If you have some things built into your kernel, the list above will contain too many modules. Skip the appropriate ones! You really should try these commands right now to make sure everything is working properly. Monitoring programs won't work until it's done. Do you want to generate /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors? (YES/no): yes Copy prog/init/lm_sensors.init to /etc/rc.d/init.d/lm_sensors for initialization at boot time. I do as it says - so alias char-major-89 i2c-dev is now in the modules.conf file, and when I modprobed the drives, the only one that worked was the i2c-isa one - the winbond one returns modprobe w83627hfFATAL: Module w83627hf not found. I add the i2c one to an rc5.d (i just slapped it into the S05lm_sensors one it craeted for me... If I run sensors it returns no sensors found. I'm sure I'm missing something / being dumb here.. but I'm lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 where did you get the lm_sensors pkg? Is there an rpm yet for the 2.6 kernel? Last I tried you had to get the latest tarball from the site and were not to install as normal but rather follow special instructions for the 2.6 with certain versions of bla bla bla and guess what...still didn't work, but that was about oh, 2 months agao.

fred_the_fish Posted March 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 rpm off the rc1 disks Also tried rpm off the 10c disks Also tried their tar from their website Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kjel Oslund Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 The driver for chip w836727hf isn't included in the kernerl source or binaries distributed by Mandrake. See the documentation in /usr/share/doc/lm_sensors-2.8.4/doc/chips. The notes say the driver is still beta. You'll probably have to get the source yourself and rebuild your kenerl.

aRTee Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 bvc, on lm_sensors in general, I have them working fine since RC1. Seems that just this module is missing. You could try a newer kernel too, 2.6 kernel series is in full motion, 2 finals a month it seems. Go Linus! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
