could be that your sensors havent been ported to the 2.6 kernels yet? (i am assuming that you are using the 2.6 kernel)
Could you post the output of lsmod and sensor-detect? |

yes I am using 2.6.2, like I stated in my last post the only module loaded is my network card (this is a fresh install of gentoo) so posting my lsmod would not be worth it as it only contains one line.
If i run sensors-detect it just comes up stating this:
No i2c device files found. Use prog/mkdev/mkdev.sh to create them.
heeeelp!!

You do have to enable /sys files system support and tell it to mount on boot. You also have to create /sys directory, I think I read where you did that.
You may also have to enable ISA bus support even if you do not have ISA slots. The chips for the temps and fans are usually on a ISA bus.
You can follow this path /sys/bus/i2c/devices/0-0290 to see if there are files there. The 0-0290 part may vary, actuall it will be different but may be the only one there.
Hope that helps.

Ok thanks but how do i enable the /sys filesystem support (and mount it for that matter)?
I currently have a /sys folder and it has stuff in there like bus etc but it does not have i2c in there.
I have enabled ISA bus support, thanks for your patience
Cheers

According to what I am reading it should mount it when it sees it exists. Can you post you /etc/mtab? Do NOT change that file. Just copy and paste.
You may want to try this command as root:
| Code: | | mount -t sysfs sysfs /sys |
If it works maybe you can add to fstab. Mine does it automatically. Bit  at the moment.

It would appear that it is already loaded, heres my mtab:
/dev/hda3 / ext3 rw,noatime 0 0
none /dev devfs rw 0 0
none /proc proc rw 0 0
none /sys sysfs rw 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts rw 0 0
/dev/hda5 /storage ext3 rw,noatime 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs rw 0 0
none /proc/bus/usb usbfs rw 0 0
But if I run sensors-detect to set up my sensors I get this:
No i2c device files found. Use prog/mkdev/mkdev.sh to create them.

This is how I did mine, as I recall. It has been a while. I compiled in the proper chips, not modules, made the /sys directory. I then rebooted and made sure it showed it mounted /sys during the boot process. It does not show up in dmesg or in the log files. It is sort of in between the two points.
After that I re-emerged gkrellm. It worked since then. It apparently looks for the sensors during the compile. It did not work until I got the /sys stuff to work and re-emerged gkrellm.
I would make sure the correct files are present in /sys before emergeing gkrellm again. You should see something like this:
| Code: | root@smoker /sys/bus/i2c/devices/0-0290 # ls
alarms fan_div3 fan_min3 in_input5 in_max2 in_max8 in_min5 pwm1 temp_input1 temp_min1
beep_enable fan_input1 in_input0 in_input6 in_max3 in_min0 in_min6 pwm2 temp_input2 temp_min2
beep_mask fan_input2 in_input1 in_input7 in_max4 in_min1 in_min7 pwm_enable2 temp_input3 temp_min3
detach_state fan_input3 in_input2 in_input8 in_max5 in_min2 in_min8 sensor1 temp_max1 vid
fan_div1 fan_min1 in_input3 in_max0 in_max6 in_min3 name sensor2 temp_max2 vrm
fan_div2 fan_min2 in_input4 in_max1 in_max7 in_min4 power sensor3 temp_max3
root@smoker /sys/bus/i2c/devices/0-0290 # |
If you do not have that, the sensors will not work. It took me a few times to get the right driver compiled into the kernel. Mine is the Winbond driver.
Hope that helps. Got to go get groceries. Crap I hate doing that. Too cold.

Oh, I did NOT install lm_sensors at all. I had to remove it for mine to work. Yours may be different somehow so I may be wrong here. Each rig is different. I seem to recall reading somewhere that the drivers in the kernel, module or not, are all that is needed. That is for 2.6 only though.
Memory is sometimes wrong though.

OK I now have sensors running to a degree, I just needed the w83697hf module, however when I run it I get the following (cut down for clarity)
CPU: +490°C (high = +920°C, hyst = +770°C) sensor = thermistor
MB: +595.0°C (high = +800°C, hyst = +750°C) sensor = thermistor
How do I make it display it like 49°C and change tje high and hyst levels? I have read through sensors.conf and added the following under the w83697hf section:
| Code: |
set temp1_over 66
set temp1_hyst 70
set temp2_over 20
set temp2_hyst 60
|
But it makes no difference, also I cant find anywhere to change the temperature output to xx°C
Cheers

The latest lm-sensors in unstable portage works with 2.6. Of course, it does not compile any drivers, since you are now supposed to use those from the kernel. It's a good thing since some sensor reporting programs (ie. ksensors) need libsensors from lm-sensors to work.
And BTW, according to this page, many drivers are not yet fully ported to 2.6, so those of you who have problems with bad values (happens to me) or no support at all, don't worry, it's just not fully working yet in 2.6, but they're working on it. |

Mine appears to be accurate apart from the fact that 60C is displayed as 600C etc. If I could just find out where in the sensors.conf to correct that and change the High and Hyst values for my CPU and Mobo then I would be happy, can anyone help?
I would like to thanks all the members of the forums for the help i've received so far.

Thanks, I have done some more research on this and it appears its a know problema nd will be fixed in subsequent releases - no real prob cause I can work out the temps are.

I can't work it out too 
When I use modules nothing works, when I don't I can get sensors-detect to start, but then it can't find anyting in ls /proc/bus/...
I have an Intel D875PBZ, kernel 2.6.1-gentoo-dev and lm-sensors 2.8.1. I know I need i2c-i810, that's what sensors-detect tells me too, but why do I have no /proc/bus/i2c?
I have enabled ISA support in my kernel and /etc/mtab shows /sys mounted.
Thanks for the great tutorial, now to get it working

For what its worth I too do not have a /proc/bus/i2c however my sensors work so I dont think its needed (could be wrong mind!)
The way I got mine to work was by trial and error, I built all the sensor modules and modproed them one after another, after each one I ran sensors to see if any had worked, eventually I found the right one for me.
I could not get sensors-detect to work for me until I did a modprobe i2c_dev
Hope this helps, if not post more info.
Cheers

TIP: I saw this posted somewhere but don't remember where...
Do NOT have i2c_viapro and VIA686A loaded at the same time!!!! They conflict and neither will work, I had this same problem with i2c until I unloaded i2c_viapro.. then all was well.

@Gayle
Change
| Code: | | sys-apps/lm-sensors-2.8.4 |
to
| Code: | | =sys-apps/lm-sensors-2.8.4 |
in /etc/portage/package.unmask and you should be fine.
@Kow
I'll add this to the first page.

Does anyoe know which particular option in the kernel compiles the smbus-arp module? I cant seem to find the option and it appears to be the last thing I need to finally figure all this mess out

|
|
Hello,
Long time lurker, first time poster. I'm trying to get my first Gentoo install working nicely. I'm a new Linux user, but I was using FreeBSD before I decided to give Gentoo a try. Very cool stuff here.
I'm trying to figure out the compute line for my cpu and mb temp sensor data for sensors.conf.
Data:
Mobo: Asus A7M266, 1.2 Athalon .
| Code: |
$ uname -a
Linux Newbian 2.6.2-rc2-mm1 #13 Sun Feb 29 15:32:35
Local time zone must be set--see zic man
i686 AMD Athlon(tm) Processor AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux
|
| Code: |
$ lsmod
Module Size Used by
i2c_viapro 5900 0
i2c_dev 8000 0
i2c_isa 1664 0
w83781d 29568 0
i2c_sensor 2432 1 w83781d
i2c_core 18564 5 i2c_viapro,i2c_dev,i2c_isa,w83781d,i2c_sensor
|
| Code: |
$ sensors
as99127f-i2c-1-2d
Adapter: SMBus Via Pro adapter at e800
Algorithm: Unavailable from sysfs
VCore: +1.89 V (min = +1.74 V, max = +1.94 V)
+3.3V: +3.28 V (min = +3.14 V, max = +3.46 V)
+5V: +4.84 V (min = +4.73 V, max = +5.24 V)
+12V: +12.52 V (min = +10.82 V, max = +13.19 V)
-12V: -12.20 V (min = -13.18 V, max = -10.88 V)
-5V: -5.30 V (min = -5.25 V, max = -4.75 V)
fan1: 4891 RPM (min = 5232 RPM, div = 2)
fan2: 0 RPM (min = -1 RPM, div = 2)
fan3: 0 RPM (min = 4963 RPM, div = 2)
M/B Temp: +300°C (high = +40°C, hyst = +30°C)
CPU Temp: +490.0°C (high = +50°C, hyst = +45°C) ALARM (beep)
temp3: -5.0°C (high = +50°C, hyst = +45°C)
vid: +1.850 V
alarms:
beep_enable:
Sound alarm enabled
|
Everything looks like its working and in the right value range,
except for the temp sensors.
| Code: |
$ pwd
/sys/bus/i2c/devices/1-002d
$ cat temp_in*
30000
24500
-250
|
Looks like temp_input1 is cpu, temp_input2 is the mobo, and I have no idea what temp_input3 is but its probably wrong too.
If anyone can give me some clues as to what I can use for the comput line to get these numbers to something resembling the BIOS, I would greatly appreciate it.
Sincerely,
-Wix |

is what I get when I type sensors at the prompt...sensors detect seems to have gone fine.
These are the modules loaded: | Code: | psalms swells # /etc/init.d/lm_sensors start

perha's there's something wrong with smbus-arp?
