For example, I had to set some readings to half, because they were being doubled. You'll probably have to do this (up or down) as well.

Re: [expert] lm_sensors on gigabyte ga-7zxe
Flacycads, chees mate. I'm at work so I cant try this, but I never got this line ever... modprobe via686a from doing sensors-detect. I did have a sensors section in gkrellm, but not any more, since I tried to get clever and remove all the relevant modules and reinstall them. Now I get zip about temps. Yes I definitely have lm_sensors instaled, sensors-detect and sensors both exist. I just cant seem to get it to work - your determination to help me get this working is _much_ appreciated mate!!! As for the stuff that should go in rc.local that isn't there, well thats the thing, thats what sensors-detect is telling me to put there - nothing, zip, null. I've literally copied the output from the terminal. I promise I'm as stumped as you over this one. What I intend to do this evening is whack your suggested lines on my box - I'll try them first to see if it goes bang ;o) - then reboot and have another go. I'll let you know how it goes. Again thanks so much for your efforts!

They aren't there. I quote: #cut here # I2C adapter drivers # I2C chip drivers #cut here On many a fresh install of Mandrake 9.0 on the KT7-RAID, all I've had to do is add the lines to the /etc files, as shown below. This is the definitive list that works on this board. It is what sensor-detect comes up with when run on the KT7 board. You don't even have to run sensors detect- just put these lines into the /etc files. (maybe your sensors-detect is corrupted, or the wrong version?? If need be, I can email you the sensors-detect I used the first time I got this to work) For /etc/rc.local: # I2C adapter drivers modprobe i2c-viapro modprobe i2c-isa # I2C chip drivers modprobe adm1021 modprobe eeprom modprobe via686a - For /etc/modules: # I2C module options alias char-major-89 i2c-dev --- Then after a shutdown/reboot, open gkrellm and the readouts will now include the cpu/chassis temp, and fan speed readouts. Contrary to what's commonly believed, I have found you sometimes need to shut down and reboot linux when performing some prodedures, to completely flush out the Ram of everything. If you don't, sometimes things simply will not work. While far better than windows, linux is still not perfect in this respect. You then press F1 to open the gkrellm config panel, go to builtins-sensors and make your fine-tuning of the offsets so as to match the bios readings, if you need to. That's all there is to it. If it isn't working on a generic 9.0 install, you are doing something wrong, like not saving the edited /etc files (as root), or your lm_sensors package is somehow corrupted. If I'm not mistaken, the I2c stuff is compiled into the Mandrake kernel. The only other thing I can think of is that if you did a custom install, you somehow removed an obscure lm_sensors dependency. But this is very unlikely, and I don't know what that would be. Another idea: Go into Mandrake Control Center, Software Managment, Software Package Removal, alphabetical listings, and see if you really have lm_sensors 2.6.4-4mdk installed. If not, install it. If so, remove it, and shut down the machine. After reboot, reinstall the lm_sensors package, and try again.

Re: [expert] lm_sensors on gigabyte ga-7zxe SUCCESS!! ;o)
Simon, Great news! I'd like to take full credit, but I only solved it thanks to Richard (Linux-Phased), the Mandrake Soft expert who went beyond the call of duty for three weeks helping me get it working. He sent me the sensors-detect version that worked. I too, have not been able to get the system fan to show up, but don't care too much, as I can see the cpu temps and fan speed, and the voltages. I still don't know why sensors-detect didn't list those modules for you. It's a real mystery. Anyway, glad I could be of some help.

Re: [expert] lm_sensors on gigabyte ga-7zxe
Simon, As you posted, your sensors detect output does not list the needed modules for /etc/rc.local. They aren't there. I quote: #cut here # I2C adapter drivers # I2C chip drivers #cut here On many a fresh install of Mandrake 9.0 on the KT7-RAID, all I've had to do is add the lines to the /etc files, as shown below. This is the definitive list that works on this board. It is what sensor-detect comes up with when run on the KT7 board. You don't even have to run sensors detect- just put these lines into the /etc files. (maybe your sensors-detect is corrupted, or the wrong version?? If need be, I can email you the sensors-detect I used the first time I got this to work) For /etc/rc.local: # I2C adapter drivers modprobe i2c-viapro modprobe i2c-isa # I2C chip drivers modprobe adm1021 modprobe eeprom modprobe via686a - For /etc/modules: # I2C module options alias char-major-89 i2c-dev --- Then after a shutdown/reboot, open gkrellm and the readouts will now include the cpu/chassis temp, and fan speed readouts. Contrary to what's commonly believed, I have found you sometimes need to shut down and reboot linux when performing some prodedures, to completely flush out the Ram of everything. If you don't, sometimes things simply will not work. While far better than windows, linux is still not perfect in this respect. You then press F1 to open the gkrellm config panel, go to builtins-sensors and make your fine-tuning of the offsets so as to match the bios readings, if you need to. That's all there is to it. If it isn't working on a generic 9.0 install, you are doing something wrong, like not saving the edited /etc files (as root), or your lm_sensors package is somehow corrupted. If I'm not mistaken, the I2c stuff is compiled into the Mandrake kernel. The only other thing I can think of is that if you did a custom install, you somehow removed an obscure lm_sensors dependency. But this is very unlikely, and I don't know what that would be. Another idea: Go into Mandrake Control Center, Software Managment, Software Package Removal, alphabetical listings, and see if you really have lm_sensors 2.6.4-4mdk installed. If not, install it. If so, remove it, and shut down the machine. After reboot, reinstall the lm_sensors package, and try again.

bascule is correct- I neglected to mention that little detail. However, I'm more concerned that his sensors-detect apparently isn't listing the required modules for his board, so that's why I suggested just using mine for the KT7, as I know for a fact they do work, and on a fresh install all you need to do is copy them in. I'm determined to help get Simon's sensors working, as I haven't forgotten how frustrating it was for me, and how the Mandrake Soft expert spent 3 weeks helping me figure it out.

Re: [expert] lm_sensors on gigabyte ga-7zxe
No luck here chaps, followed the instructions, pasted stuff (u don't seem to need to paste into rc.local, the sensors daemon is already running?)

Re: [expert] lm_sensors on gigabyte ga-7zxe
Chuck is correct- when you run sensors detect, do the ISA. Your generated lines should wind up looking something like this (these are from my KX7-333- yours will be different, but same format): For /etc/modules: # I2C module options alias char-major-89 i2c-dev --- For /etc/rc.local: # I2C adapter drivers modprobe i2c-viapro # modprobe unknown adapter Velleman K8000 using Bit-shift algorithm modprobe i2c-isa # I2C chip drivers modprobe eeprom modprobe w83781d - All you should have to do is put them into the files, and save.

Re: [expert] lm_sensors on gigabyte ga-7zxe
Bascule, you probably dont want a question in answer to yours, but I never quite managed to get lm_sensors working.

Civileme Well the (Enable support for booting off-board controllers first) switch is in different directions on the install and the boot kernel for LM 8.0 So the tric k is install and when you get the kernel panic on boot, just boot the install CD in rescue mode and change the references in /etc/fstab and lilo.conf from (for example) /dev/hdg to /dev/hda (or /dev/hdc if you have something like a CD on the primary IDE channel). Then boot the system and all is well. Civileme Naturally, since the Iwill is more of the same fake hardware IDE RAID controllers proliferating and secret, don't bother with using the RAID. Linux software RAID works better anyway. Uhm, I think you might be answering the wrong question. Those sound like instructions for booting off of an onboard RAID controller. The question is about lm_sensors. Agree on the quality of the onboard RAID controllers though, I don't have the RAID version of the Iwill board. I got a 3ware card instead. It smokes :-)
Re: [expert] lm_sensors and KT7 RAID
Here is how I did it: - Install the RedHat 7.1 lm_sensors package: lm_sensors-2.5.5-3 - run sensors-detect. I'm pretty sure I just accepted all the defaults here. It will ask you to modify your modules.conf and init script. - Install the gkrellm package from the second install CD - launch gkrelllm - right-click on the gkrellm frame and go into configure - expand the builtins tree and click on sensors. If lm_sensors isn't installed properly, you won't see a sensors menu item. - On my board I enter 'cpu' in the space next to the line via-686a-isa-6000/temp1 and 'mb' in the space next to the line via-686a-isa-6000/temp2 There is more detail in the man page. My fan stuff isn't working yet, but I noticed today that it doesn't show up in the bios either. So there may be something wrong with my fan or MB :-( It is a 3 wire lead on the fan. I'd really like to get KHealthcare working though. It can shutdown your system if your temps or fan speeds get out of bounds. Important for AMD chips!

Re: [expert] lm_sensors and KT7 RAID
FWIW, I also posted details of setting up lm_sensors gkrellm. It doesn't seem to have shown up yet though. This seems to be the worst list I've ever participated in as far as implementation responsiveness (responsiveness of the system, not the participants!) Anyway, I finally got my fan speed working in gkrellm. Took longer then it should have because I didn't realize it alternated between cpu temp fan speed. If I had watched it for a little longer... My fan speed was way off though. It read about 1100 for a Volcano II which thermaltake says is a 4500 RPM fan. The temps are good, so I assume that the fan speed is nominal. So I bumped up the multiplier to read 4500. Any idea how to validate the temperature reading though? Mine is in the expected range. I guess that's good enough. As for KHealthcare. I've had no luck compiling or with rpms. I sent an e-mail to the developer, but got no response. That either means he's hard at work on it, or doesn't care. Hopefully the former!

Gkrellm now displays temps, but I'm having trouble with fan speeds. And I haven't gotten KHealthcare to work yet. Thanks Eric As Civileme said, Mandrake kernels are already i2c enabled. AFAIK, and what I did, it's as simple as installing 'lm_utils...rpm' (I use lm_utils-2.4.3_2.5.5-25mdk on 8.0) and run 'sensors-detect'. All default answers to it's questions worked for me. It'll generate a few lines that need to be manually added to rc.local and modules.conf. Once that's done, then running 'sensors' should output all the various voltages, temps, and fan speeds appropriate for your hardware. Then I started Gkrellm and configured it to display my cpu temp (p3-450@600). 'Course, all this only works on motherboards which support monitoring. Most good boards do, most (cheap ;) ready-mades like Dell don't. I haven't been able to get any Khealthcare app, src.rpm, rpm, or tarball to compile or work with KDE2. MOF, I haven't found any FE other than gkrellm that will work with KDE2-lm_sensors. lm_sensors docs cover what to edit in it's config file to correct or modify outputs (eg, fan speeds). I have to modify temp3 to get correct temp output for my Voodoo3, altho it's fan speed is correctly reported. -- Tom Brinkman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Galveston Bay
