Well, either I don't have a server-class motherboard in this box, or it's not configured correctly. # ipmitool sensor list Could not open device at /dev/ipmi0 or /dev/ipmi/0 or /dev/ipmidev/0: No such file or directory Get Device ID command failed Unable to open SDR for reading Unfortunately, lm_sensors is doing about as well for me as it is for Kimball: # sensors k8temp-pci-00c3 Adapter: PCI adapter Core0 Temp: -49°C Core1 Temp: +1°C As awesome as it would be for my processor to be running that cool (or even be a dual-core, which that particular one isn't), I don't think it's right. -- Joseph http://blog.josephhall.com/ /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
