lue@trinite-2:~$ sudo sensors-detect # sensors-detect revision 4171 (2006-09-24 03:37:01 -0700) This program will help you determine which kernel modules you need to load to use lm_sensors most effectively. It is generally safe and recommended to accept the default answers to all questions, unless you know what you're doing. We can start with probing for (PCI) I2C or SMBus adapters. Do you want to probe now? (YES/no): Probing for PCI bus adapters... Use driver `i2c-nforce2' for device 0000:00:0a.1: nVidia Corporation nForce4 SMBus (MCP55) We will now try to load each adapter module in turn. Module `i2c-nforce2' already loaded. If you have undetectable or unsupported adapters, you can have them scanned by manually loading the modules before running this script. To continue, we need module `i2c-dev' to be loaded. Do you want to load `i2c-dev' now? (YES/no): Module loaded successfully. We are now going to do the I2C/SMBus adapter probings. Some chips may be double detected; we choose the one with the highest confidence value in that case. If you found that the adapter hung after probing a certain address, you can specify that address to remain unprobed. Next adapter: SMBus nForce2 adapter at f000 Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively): Client found at address 0x08 Client found at address 0x20 Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78'... No Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78-J'... No Probing for `National Semiconductor LM79'... No Probing for `Winbond W83781D'... No Probing for `Winbond W83782D'... No Probing for `Winbond W83627HF'... No Client found at address 0x23 Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78'... No Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78-J'... No Probing for `National Semiconductor LM79'... No Probing for `Winbond W83781D'... No Probing for `Winbond W83782D'... No Probing for `Winbond W83627HF'... No Client found at address 0x28 Handled by driver `lm78' (already loaded), chip type `lm78' Next adapter: SMBus nForce2 adapter at f400 Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively): Client found at address 0x08 Client found at address 0x50 Handled by driver `eeprom' (already loaded), chip type `eeprom' Client found at address 0x51 Handled by driver `eeprom' (already loaded), chip type `eeprom' Some chips are also accessible through the ISA I/O ports. We have to write to arbitrary I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe though. Yes, you do have ISA I/O ports even if you do not have any ISA slots! Do you want to scan the ISA I/O ports? (YES/no): Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78' at 0x290... No Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78-J' at 0x290... No Probing for `National Semiconductor LM79' at 0x290... No Probing for `Winbond W83781D' at 0x290... No Probing for `Winbond W83782D' at 0x290... No Probing for `Winbond W83627HF' at 0x290... No Probing for `Silicon Integrated Systems SIS5595'... No Probing for `VIA VT82C686 Integrated Sensors'... No Probing for `VIA VT8231 Integrated Sensors'... No Probing for `AMD K8 thermal sensors'... No Probing for `IPMI BMC KCS' at 0xca0... No Probing for `IPMI BMC SMIC' at 0xca8... No Some Super I/O chips may also contain sensors. We have to write to standard I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe. Do you want to scan for Super I/O sensors? (YES/no): Probing for Super-I/O at 0x2e/0x2f Trying family `ITE'... No Trying family `National Semiconductor'... No Trying family `SMSC'... No Trying family `VIA/Winbond/Fintek'... Yes Found `Winbond W83627DHG Super IO Sensors' Success! (address 0x290, driver `w83627ehf') Probing for Super-I/O at 0x4e/0x4f Trying family `ITE'... No Trying family `National Semiconductor'... No Trying family `SMSC'... No Trying family `VIA/Winbond/Fintek'... No Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done. Just press ENTER to continue: Driver `lm78' (should be inserted): Detects correctly: * Bus `SMBus nForce2 adapter at f000' Busdriver `i2c-nforce2', I2C address 0x28 Chip `lm78' (confidence: 6) Driver `eeprom' (should be inserted): Detects correctly: * Bus `SMBus nForce2 adapter at f400' Busdriver `i2c-nforce2', I2C address 0x50 Chip `eeprom' (confidence: 6) * Bus `SMBus nForce2 adapter at f400' Busdriver `i2c-nforce2', I2C address 0x51 Chip `eeprom' (confidence: 6) EEPROMs are *NOT* sensors! They are data storage chips commonly found on memory modules (SPD), in monitors (EDID), or in some laptops, for example. Driver `w83627ehf' (should be inserted): Detects correctly: * ISA bus address 0x0290 (Busdriver `i2c-isa') Chip `Winbond W83627DHG Super IO Sensors' (confidence: 9) I will now generate the commands needed to load the required modules. Just press ENTER to continue: To make the sensors modules behave correctly, add these lines to /etc/modules: #----cut here---- # I2C adapter drivers i2c-nforce2 # Chip drivers lm78 eeprom w83627ehf #----cut here---- Do you want to add these lines to /etc/modules automatically?
