Re: LM-Sensors on an ASUS P4B533



Interesting... I just battled lm-sensors last night. :)

I don't know about The Debian Way either.  Since I'm still most
comfortable building my kernels from kernel.org bz2balls, I just grabbed
the i2c and lm-sensors source (from http://secure.netroedge.com/~lm78/)
and built that against my kernel.

As the README says, lm-sensors doesn't support /motherboards/, it supports
/chips/.  To find out for sure you'd need to look in your motherboard
manual or google to find out what chips make up your motherboard.  Then
check the supported chips page:
http://secure.netroedge.com/~lm78/supported.html

With your current setup, do any of the base modules successfully load
into your kernel?

One last thing:
This slight mod was needed to get lm-sensors to build with gcc-3.2:
$ diff -u Makefile.orig Makefile

Works well now, and even pointed me to a failing videocard fan of which
I was unaware.
