I think my laptop dell 630 migh have a HW issue


Hello i keep getting the following:

Message from syslogd@ at Mon Feb 22 10:25:21 2010 ...
laptopname kernel: CPU1: Temperature/speed normal
Message from syslogd@ at Mon Feb 22 10:25:21 2010 ...
laptopname kernel: CPU0: Temperature/speed normal

I'm using Centos 5.4
Linux laptopname 2.6.18-164.11.1.el5 #1 SMP Wed Jan 20 07:32:21 EST 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux


I've been googlin but have had no luck, many opinions but can't seem to resolve the issue:
1.-I could not determine that my cpu's are overheated

2.-I have checked out the sensor part sensors, but:
[root@laptopname ~]# sensors
No sensors found!
Make sure you loaded all the kernel drivers you need.
Try sensors-detect to find out which these are.


3.-I tried to detect with sensors-detect, but:

[root@laptopname ~]# sensors-detect
# sensors-detect revision 5291 (2008-06-23 23:40:46 -0700)

This program will help you determine which kernel modules you need
to load to use lm_sensors most effectively. It is generally safe
and recommended to accept the default answers to all questions,
unless you know what you're doing.

We can start with probing for (PCI) I2C or SMBus adapters.
Do you want to probe now? (YES/no): y
Probing for PCI bus adapters...
Use driver `i2c-i801' for device 0000:00:1f.3: Intel 82801H ICH8

We will now try to load each adapter module in turn.
Module `i2c-i801' already loaded.
If you have undetectable or unsupported I2C/SMBus adapters, you can have
them scanned by manually loading the modules before running this script.

To continue, we need module `i2c-dev' to be loaded.
Do you want to load `i2c-dev' now? (YES/no): y
Module loaded successfully.

We are now going to do the I2C/SMBus adapter probings. Some chips may
be double detected; we choose the one with the highest confidence
value in that case.
If you found that the adapter hung after probing a certain address,
you can specify that address to remain unprobed.

Next adapter: SMBus I801 adapter at 10c0 (i2c-0)
Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively): y
Client found at address 0x50
Probing for `Analog Devices ADM1033'... No
Probing for `Analog Devices ADM1034'... No
Probing for `SPD EEPROM'... Yes
(confidence 8, not a hardware monitoring chip)
Probing for `EDID EEPROM'... No
Client found at address 0x52
Probing for `Analog Devices ADM1033'... No
Probing for `Analog Devices ADM1034'... No
Probing for `SPD EEPROM'... Yes
(confidence 8, not a hardware monitoring chip)
Probing for `EDID EEPROM'... No

Next adapter: NVIDIA i2c adapter 0 at 1:00.0 (i2c-1)
Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively): y
Adapter cannot be probed, skipping.

Next adapter: NVIDIA i2c adapter 1 at 1:00.0 (i2c-2)
Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively): y
Adapter cannot be probed, skipping.

Next adapter: NVIDIA i2c adapter 2 at 1:00.0 (i2c-3)
Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively): y
Adapter cannot be probed, skipping.

Some chips are also accessible through the ISA I/O ports. We have to
write to arbitrary I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe though.
Yes, you do have ISA I/O ports even if you do not have any ISA slots!
Do you want to scan the ISA I/O ports? (YES/no): y
Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78' at 0x290... No
Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78-J' at 0x290... No
Probing for `National Semiconductor LM79' at 0x290... No
Probing for `Winbond W83781D' at 0x290... No
Probing for `Winbond W83782D' at 0x290... No

Some Super I/O chips may also contain sensors. We have to write to
standard I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe.
Do you want to scan for Super I/O sensors? (YES/no): y
Probing for Super-I/O at 0x2e/0x2f
Trying family `National Semiconductor'... No
Trying family `SMSC'... Yes
Found unknown chip with ID 0x3201
Probing for Super-I/O at 0x4e/0x4f
Trying family `National Semiconductor'... No
Trying family `SMSC'... Yes
Found unknown non-standard chip with ID 0x13

Some south bridges, CPUs or memory controllers may also contain
embedded sensors. Do you want to scan for them? (YES/no): y
Silicon Integrated Systems SIS5595... No
VIA VT82C686 Integrated Sensors... No
VIA VT8231 Integrated Sensors... No
AMD K8 thermal sensors... No
AMD K10 thermal sensors... No
Intel AMB FB-DIMM thermal sensor... No

Sorry, no sensors were detected.
Either your sensors are not supported, or they are connected to an
I2C or SMBus adapter that is not supported. See doc/FAQ,
doc/lm_sensors-FAQ.html or http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/FAQ
(FAQ #4.24.3) for further information.
If you find out what chips are on your board, check
http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/Devices for driver status.


4.-Any ideas?


Thanks!!!

It says "normal" in the message. That doesn't indicate an error to me.

Many messages are informational only and not indicative of an error.

If you were running something like Dell's OpenManage software it might be checking this and periodically telling you about it. Checking to see what daemons are running or what is being kicked off in cron might help you determine what put the message there.

Sorry - haven't played with sensors since I get most of my alerts out of Dell OpenManage.

The message seems to indicate the interface at motherboard doesn't exist. Typically laptops have a fairly proprietary design so that may be the issue.

Last question, how can i disable the alerts, since they go directly to the terminal?
