Can someone help me with lm_sensors?

Kramer · 01-24-2004, 02:13 PM

Ive run the sensors detect, and it detected my hardware sensors, and this is the output that i get:

Quote:

#----cut here----
# I2C adapter drivers
modprobe i2c-isa
# I2C chip drivers
modprobe via686a
#----cut here----

To make the sensors modules behave correctly, add these lines to either
/etc/modules.conf or /etc/conf.modules:

#----cut here----
# I2C module options
alias char-major-89 i2c-dev
#----cut here----

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.

How do I know which files to put that stuff in?

To /etc/rc.local add:

Code:

# I2C adapter drivers
modprobe i2c-isa
# I2C chip drivers
modprobe via686a

To /etc/modules.conf add:

Code:

# I2C module options
alias char-major-89 i2c-dev

Then:
cp prog/init/lm_sensors.init /etc/rc.d/init.d/lm_sensors

When I try and do the copy it says

Quote:

cp: cannot stat `prog/init/lm_sensors.init': No such file or directory

Did I goof somewhere?
Also, do I add the pound signs in with those lines, or take them out, and does it matter where I add them in at? I just added them to the bottom of the text that was already there.

Just add them as shown at the end of the files.

when you do "cp" make sure you are still in the source directory.

I did urpmi lm_sensors to install it. How can I find the source directory where they installed to?

Kramer · 01-24-2004, 04:36 PM

Ok, it looks like the /etc/rc.d/init.d/lm_sensors shell scripts are already there. Mabye I just managed to goof somewhere, and still wind up right

Kramer · 01-24-2004, 04:54 PM

Ok so, upon restarting, it says "initializing sensor modules" and then "No sensors found!". How can that be?

maybe the modules aren't being started as they should.... try ls and dump the output here!

This is the output of lsmod:

I dont see any sensors in there. Did I goof somewhere along the line?

Kramer · 01-25-2004, 03:45 PM

I do get this when probing the ISA bus, so I know it has them

I can give a rundown of what Ive done if anyone will thinks it will help them figure this out.

Kramer · 01-28-2004, 09:31 AM

Ive got the 2.6 kernel now, and I still get the "No sensors found" at boot.

david_ross · 01-28-2004, 01:01 PM

Try installing lm_sensors from source by following the instructions with the source code.
