At the risk that this is an incredibly stupid question, I'm going to ask it anyways <g>. I have lm_sensors installed on my AMD64 box, it seems to work fine other than a questionable voltage alarm that is likely a sensors.conf setting issue. # sensors w83697hf-isa-0290 Adapter: ISA adapter VCore: +1.50 V (min = +1.71 V, max = +1.89 V) +3.3V: +3.38 V (min = +3.14 V, max = +3.47 V) +5V: +5.16 V (min = +4.76 V, max = +5.24 V) +12V: +12.28 V (min = +10.82 V, max = +13.19 V) -12V: -12.28 V (min = -13.18 V, max = -10.80 V) -5V: -5.30 V (min = -5.25 V, max = -4.75 V) ALARM V5SB: +5.51 V (min = +4.76 V, max = +5.24 V) VBat: +3.65 V (min = +2.40 V, max = +3.60 V) fan1: 3443 RPM (min = 33750 RPM, div = 2) fan2: 0 RPM (min = 1328 RPM, div = 4) temp1: +58°C (high = +0°C, hyst = +0°C) sensor = PII/Celeron diode temp2: +34.5°C (high = +80°C, hyst = +75°C) sensor = thermistor alarms: beep_enable: Sound alarm disabled eeprom-i2c-0-51 Adapter: SMBus Via Pro adapter at 0400 Memory type: DDR SDRAM DIMM Memory size (MB): 512 eeprom-i2c-0-50 Adapter: SMBus Via Pro adapter at 0400 Memory type: DDR SDRAM DIMM Memory size (MB): 512 I wanted to track the sensor info over time, so I tried to install the rrdtool scripts that come packaged with lm_sensors. No go, it complains that /proc/sys/dev/sensors doesn't exist. Some googling reveals that means that sensor support isn't compiled into the kernel. That doesn't make sense to me, if sensor support isn't compiled in, then why does lm_sensors seem to work fine? If it is compiled in, then why do I not have a /proc/sys/dev/sensors ? Needless to say, I'm confused and could use some enlightenment. Scott -- POPFile, the OpenSource EMail Classifier http://popfile.sourceforge.net/ Linux 2.6.8-24.11-default x86_64
