lm-sensors for Asus A7N8X-X

h2gofast · 08-25-2004, 01:23 PM

debian sid on kernel 2.4.27-1-k7,
What's the best way to get lmsensors up and running for this board.
I tried running sensors-detect but it is unable to find i2c-nforce2 module.
Not sure where to go next.

apt-get install i2c-2.4.27-1-k7 lm-sensors-2.4.27-1-k7 would be the packages needed. I have never installed them the Debian way so I am not sure if it does the detecting and setup for you or not. If it does not post the packages you installed along with the two mentioned along with the /etc/modules file and the output of lsmod.

I apt-get installed those previously and ran sensors-detect which couldn't find i2c-nforce2 module,
is there something else I need to configure?

Code:

h2:/home/h2# cat /etc/modules
# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
#
# This file should contain the names of kernel modules that are
# to be loaded at boot time, one per line.  Comments begin with
# a "#", and everything on the line after them are ignored.

sd_mod
ide-cd
ide-detect

Code:

h2:/home/h2# lsmod

Try "modprobe i2c-nforce2" and see if that loads it. If not, check in your kernel config to see if it's enabled. (Device Drivers->i2c Support->i2c Hardware Bus Support)

I have a Nforce2 board also, this is what I have as loadable modules:

thermal
processor
fan
eeprom
w83627hf
i2c_isa
i2c_nforce2
i2c_sensor
i2c_dev
i2c_core

Make sure all the above are enabled in the kernel. Also have a look at this thread - different chipset, but to do with lm_sensors.

modprobe: Can't locate module i2c-nforce2
how did you get the i2c-nforce2 module.
I believe I've installed all the relevant packages, but still can't find it.

It's probably not enabled in the kernel. If it's not, you'll need to enable it and recompile. Make sure you add in the other modules needed while you're there.

h2gofast · 08-27-2004, 08:00 PM

thanks, I'll post how it goes.

You can always download and install a Debian 2.6 kernel image for your system. They come with i2c support built in.

h2gofast · 08-30-2004, 09:53 AM

I might give that a shot, I haven't had any luck with getting 2.6 off the ground, unfortunately it's a time committment I can't make right now.

h2gofast · 09-04-2004, 11:19 AM

Well,
apt-get install'ed the latest 2.6 image and the sensors worked.
Now my ide harddrives disappeard. I imagine this has to do with drivers for the nvidia chipset.
I'm recompiling the kernel now with nvidia modules so hopefully that will solve the issue.....
