Monitor CPU temperature in a Supermicro X6DH8-XG2
Dear Srs,
I need to get the CPU temperature in a Supermicro X6DH8-XG2
motherboard, this is the link for key features:
http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon800/E7520/X6DH8-
XG2.cfm
According with the page specs, X6DH8-XG2 seems to have some thermal
monitoring chip/hardware:
* Monitoring for CPU and chassis environment
* CPU thermal trip support
* Thermal Monitor 2 support
When running lm-sensors 2.10.1-3 (with libsensors3) on a Debian Etch
box I get:
# sensors
No sensors found!
Make sure you loaded all the kernel drivers you need.
Try sensors-detect to find out which these are.
This is the output for "sensors-detect":
========================================================================
=================
(..)
# I2C adapter drivers
i2c-i801
# Chip drivers
# Warning: the required module lm93 is not currently installed
# on your system. For status of 2.6 kernel ports check
# http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/Devices. If driver is built
# into the kernel, or unavailable, comment out the following line.
lm93
# no driver for Nat. Semi. PC87427 Super IO Fan Sensors yet
========================================================================
=================
Debian is using Etch default kernel, 2.6.18-6-686-bigmem, i2c-i801
modules loads correctly but lm93 isn't available:
# lsmod | grep i801
i2c_i801 8236 0
i2c_core 20448 4 eeprom,lm83,i2c_dev,i2c_i801
# modprobe -l | grep lm93
# modprobe lm93
FATAL: Module lm93 not found.
I have also tried looking at ACPI info into /proc, file "/proc/acpi/
thermal_zone/THRM/temperature" but isn't not available:

Trying with IPMI I get this error:
========================================================================
=================

And the device appears correctly:

What can I do to get the CPU temperature in this motherboard? Thanks!!
