 Posted: Mon Jan 23, 2006 4:22 pm Post subject: sensors work but sensors-detect doesn't [SOLVED] |
 |
|
I recently built a new system and, following the instructions at http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Sensors was able to get the motherboard sensors working. Last week, I replaced the video card and wanted to get gkrellm2 to display the GPU temp so I starting tweaking things. In the process, I accidentally deleted /etc/conf.d/lm_sensors. 
The good news is that the motherboard and GPU sensors work, but when lm_sensors is started up, I get the following message:
| Code: | | * /etc/conf.d/lm_sensors does not exist, try running sensors-detect |
When I run sensors-detect, I get:
| Code: | | No i2c device files found. Use prog/mkdev/mkdev.sh to create them. |
/usr/bin/sensors shows:
| Code: | w83627hf-isa-0290
Adapter: ISA adapter
VCore 1: +1.33 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +4.08 V)
VCore 2: +1.49 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +4.08 V)
+3.3V: +3.30 V (min = +2.82 V, max = +3.79 V)
+5V: +5.16 V (min = +4.06 V, max = +4.46 V)
+12V: +12.22 V (min = +8.94 V, max = +3.59 V)
-12V: +1.70 V (min = -4.55 V, max = +3.18 V)
-5V: +2.49 V (min = -1.33 V, max = -0.73 V)
V5SB: +5.59 V (min = +6.83 V, max = +6.85 V)
VBat: +1.54 V (min = +2.29 V, max = +0.69 V)
Case Fan: 0 RPM (min = 0 RPM, div = 2)
CPU Fan: 0 RPM (min = 4500 RPM, div = 2)
fan3: 0 RPM (min = 1520 RPM, div = 8)
M/B Temp: +28 C (high = +34 C, hyst = -37 C) sensor = thermistor
CPU Temp: +29.5 C (high = +80 C, hyst = +75 C) sensor = thermistor
temp3: +25.0 C (high = +80 C, hyst = +75 C) sensor = thermistor
vid: +0.000 V (VRM Version 2.4)
alarms:
beep_enable:
Sound alarm disabled |
"ls /sys/bus/i2c/devices/9191-0290" shows all the sensors.
I'm running 2.6.14-gentoo-r5.
I suspect that I can hack things to get rid of the lm_sensors warning on boot, but I would like to know if anyone has any suggestions on how to fix sensors-detect so that I can resolve this correctly.
BTW: I have tried "modprobe i2c-dev" as suggested in the WIKI. It didn't help.

I had the same error yesterday.
You have to modify your kernel.
I2C Support --> I2C Hardware Bus Support
Then type lspci and choose the right one 
Also you have to activate CONFIG_I2C_CHARDEV
This solves the problem for me..
edit: If you built everything directly into the kernel (not as a module) you needn´t start lm_sensors in a runlevel

I had missed | Code: | 00:07.0 ISA bridge: ALi Corporation M1563 HyperTransport South Bridge (rev 70)
|
the previous times I went through this. Building it into the kernel allowed sensors-detect to run correctly.
Since I had built everything into the kernel instead of into modules, I also didn't need to start lm_sensors anyway.
So, not starting lm_sensors at boot removed the error message and rebuilding the kernel with the ISA bridge enabled fixed sensors-detect. So my problem is fix two ways.
Tost - Thanks for the quick response! |
