MoBo : Intel D865GLC & sensors
Hi, I'm trying to get the sensors of that motherboard to work. sensors-detect found SMSC EMC6D100 or EMC6D101 (lm85 driver). I think this is the temprature sensor for the board. How do I get this to work ? I loaded the i2c-modules for the lm85, but running sensors returns 'No sensors found'. There is another sensor-chip PC87372, but this seems unsupported for the moment. Anyone else running this board and using the sensors ? TIA -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Koenraad Lelong R&D Manager ACE electronics n.v.

I'm no engineer on these things, but my understanding is that it must first be recognized by the BIOS. This can be determined by looking at "dmesg". If you have "hwinfo" installed, read the manpage for it (it's simple) and run it to make sure that the sensor is seen there. Then it's a matter of configuring the module(s) to connect to the hardware. This is always a matter of experimentation for me. Web searches sometimes help. hth, ken

They are recognized by the BIOS, in the BIOS-setup there is a screen : hardware monitoring. That displays three different tempratures and the speed of three fans. Also a number of voltages are monitored. Are dmesg or hwinfo capable of handling I2C devices ? The whole purpose of "lm-sensors" is to provide drivers for applications. sensors-detect tries to detect what drivers (kernel-modules) are needed. Then you have to make those drivers available at boot and start the "sensors" application. Well, the drivers are available (lsmod shows them) but the "sensors" application complains about "no sensors". -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Koenraad Lelong R&D Manager ACE electronics n.v.

Had been following this thread until it's abrupt stop. Have the exact same problem but the mo-bo is a MSI K8T (939AMD)

Well, friday I installed 9.3 on the board with a spare disk, there the sensors work fine. I'm going to upgrade (actually a fresh install) to 9.3 on the "real" disk. I tried to compile a new LM85 module for the Suse 9.2-kernel using a patch I found, but this seemed not to work. -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Koenraad Lelong R&D Manager ACE electronics n.v.
