lm_sensors help
 

Hello all

I have seen simular posts for what i am asking but I couldnt understand the one fix they had

I have a:


SMP 2 AMD 2000+
Tyan tiger mpx mobo
512 PC 2100 kingston ddr ecc
geforce 3 rev. 3a
sound blaster live value
3c59* linksys 10/100 E


This is the error I receive when trying to compile lm_sensors:

This is untarred 2.7.0 from the site strait from the archive. No changes have been made, I did not build modules for i2c in the kernel which if i read correctly says its ok not to build the modules and that you must to use the new 2.7.0 from the site anyway.

here is the link lmsensor question asking about this problem in the forum.

this link is to a proposed fix, but I dont understand it.

posted fix

Anyone know how to fix this problem I cant seem to figure it out.

thank you

that fix in the last part of the page is a patch to the
makefile

you are supposed to save that text as a file, and
patch something with it.
i can't tell if it is a kernel patch or a lm_sensors
patch, but i would guess it's for lm_sensors.

Do I copy the whole text from #diff to the end or just the first 4 lines , last 4 lines? I dont know what to copy. And thank you for the help I was kinda understanding it was a patch to something but I didnt know how to use it. hehe

the whole thing.

I have got the lm_sensors to compile makeing a patch file and installing with patch -p1 Makefile.orig Makefile, have no idea what -p1 did but I seen it used somewhere.

when i run sensors-detect it cant locate any of my modules either when I use modprobe, out put is:

modprobe: Can't locate module i2c-amd756

. i located it manually in where I suppose its supposed to be /lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/i2c/ the module needed is i2c-amd756 which is located in the directory I listed?
Anyone know why?

aren't there 2 or 3 packages you have to install for
sensors? an i2c package?
and maybe run depmod -a

nice!! finally got it working depmod -a was a command needed.
I appologize due to my lack of paying attention and reading everything, and finding iportant information on the lm site, I overlooked the answers.

Another newbie not looking hard enough.

for anyone else who may be having probs with the Tyan tiger 760 boards check here, you most likely will find the fix

lm faq

and read carfully, unlike me

thanks for your patients

goodly. i'm glad to see my patients were of some use.
