"freebsd-questions Digest, Vol 264, Issue 3":
I am trying to find out the temperature of my CPU. After a whole night
from dusk till dawn of searching the Web like a furious spider, I got
the following results: it can be done via either ISA or SMB, with one of
the ports: lmmon, healthd, consolehm or mbmon, and there are also few
modules that are required in the kernel: smb, smbus, intpm, ichsmb
I used a TUSL2 board for a while for one of my servers and mbmon
worked fine with it. I did have to compile mbmon without SMB support
though (just look inside the Makefile for the right thing to define
to prevent smb support). Then when you do a 'mbmon -d' it will tell
you what it finds. I never even tried adding smb support to the
kernel until after I upgraded both the motherboard and BSD to 7.1 and
was curious to see what it might give me.

Holy cahones de la... *skipping few languages* ...rear of Vyagrimukha
and Leviathan!! I'm so happy, de merde!.. So, like... When installing
mbmon, it gives you an option to disable SMB support; I did never even
think about disabling it because where would it take the data from?!.. I
do not have ISA or I2C, so SMB seemed like the only way. But, with this
support, it's completely impossible to read the temperatures (and -d
says that, like, ICH found but there is hardware monitor on it...), and
when you disable this support - it reads everything properly!! Thank you
very much, my new old CPU will now rest happily knowing that I always
watch carefully after its temperature...
