lm_sensors and ABit KT7A
Hi folks,
I recently upgraded up system from a K6-2 350, to a K7 900, running on
an ABit KT7A Motherboard. This is all well and good and works fine and
is very stable...
Anyway, I was reading recently about using lm_sensors to display things
like the CPU temperature and stuff. So I decided to go and download it
and install it when I installed my new kernel (2.4.3-ac7).
As far as I can tell, I've installed all the right things into the
kernel (all compiled in, rathen than as modules)
[rei:~]% grep I2C /usr/src/linux/.config|grep -v ^#
CONFIG_I2C=y
CONFIG_I2C_ALGOBIT=y
CONFIG_I2C_ALGOPCF=y
CONFIG_I2C_MAINBOARD=y
CONFIG_I2C_VIA=y
CONFIG_I2C_VIAPRO=y
CONFIG_I2C_ISA=y
CONFIG_I2C_CHARDEV=m
[rei:~]% grep SENSORS /usr/src/linux/.config|grep -v ^#
CONFIG_SENSORS=y
CONFIG_SENSORS_VIA686A=y
CONFIG_SENSORS_OTHER=y
It looks like the kernel is happy enough that it's seeing the sensors
(or something):
[rei:~]% cat /proc/bus/i2c
i2c-0 smbus SMBus vt82c596 adapter at 5000 Non-I2C
SMBus adapter
i2c-1 dummy ISA main adapter ISA bus
algorith
I downloaded and compiled the source (lm_sensors-2.5.5.tar.gz), and that
seemed to go okay. And /usr/local/sbin/sensors-detect is pretty happy
about telling me I have it all set up correctly.
However, when it doesn't seem to work:
[rei:~]% sensors -s
No sensors found!
I'm pretty sure I've read everything that came with the package - I'm
sure I have missed something small.
Does anyone with a similar configuration to me have it working? Would
you care to share any insights?
cheers,
damon
