Sensors installation on 9.1

Can someone remind me of which file it's good to put the modprobe commands in during startup on 9.1? The sensors-detect output helpfully says only "some /etc/rc* file", which isn't too clear :) FWIW, sensors seems to work fine out of the box here - no faffing around with compiling a new version was needed.

Go to Yast -- System --/etc/sysconfig editor --system--kernel--modules_loaded and add the modules that you want started at boot time. Clark

The "/usr/sbin/sensors-detect" command ends up telling you ... unfortunately their site state that you'd have to upgrade lm-sensors if you run with the latest breed of kernel from SuSE. http://secure.netroedge.com/~lm78/kernel26.html Hint you SuSE people .... as they upgrade the kernel .. you forgot to upgrade lm-sensors in the process. Please give us a chance to have a clean an install as possible Johan

But, as I said, the sensors actually work fine. If I enter the relevant modprobes as root, I can view the sensor results in GKrellM with no problem. Which leads me to suspect that simply inserting these commands during boot would be enough on my system. Anyhow, thanks to Clark for the pointer to the right answer.

The file you are after for inserting the startup code in is /etc/init.d/boot.local -- Regards, Graham Smith ---------------------------------------------------------

I've run sensors-detect with root permissons, put all the modules listed in /etc/init.d/boot.local, but it's all still the same... in gkrellm I get just thermal_zone/THRM, which shows fixed number 22 celzius, no fans or voltage i have epox 8rda+, nforce2 sensors-detect modules: #----cut here---- # I2C adapter drivers # modprobe unknown adapter bt878 #0 [sw] using Algorithm unavailable modprobe i2c-nforce2 # modprobe unknown adapter bt878 #0 [sw] using Algorithm unavailable # I2C chip drivers modprobe eeprom # sleep 2 # optional /usr/bin/sensors -s # recommended #----cut here---- what do I need to do to get sensors working? Thanks

A newer version of lm_sensors. The one shipped with 9.1 is not compatible with the kernel they shipped with 9.1. I installed lm_sensors-2.8.6.tar.gz and it works fine now. Michael

Ok, I figured it out. Installed just lm_sensors 2.8.6 (uninstalled lm_sensors 2.8.3) run /usr/local/sensors-detect, everything YES, then smbus copied modprobes in /etc/boot.d/boot.local

Copy prog/init/lm_sensors.init to /etc/rc.d/init.d/lm_sensors CHANGED TO /etc/init.d/lm_sensors

then I manually tried running modprobes & sensors -s and everything works. thanks again
