No sensors found!

No sensors found!

[Jennifer Villar]

I am a complete newbie here cutting my teeth on RedHat 9 Kernel
2.4.20-8smp. I am trying to get lm_sensors to work but I continually get
the "No Sensors found!" error. I have followed the instructions that
sensors-detect has provided (except the /etc/rc* entries as I am not
sure which file to put the entries into, any?). 

 

I am using a Supermicro server with an Intel 857 chipset and the Super
P4SCA motherboard. Unfortunately I cannot look at the mother board as
the system is racked. 

 

Here is some of the information I have that may shed light to someone
who knows a thing or two about this stuff.

# Output of sensors-detect

 Detects correctly:

  * ISA bus address 0x0290 (Busdriver `i2c-isa')

    Chip `Winbond W83627HF Super IO Sensors' (confidence: 9)

 

 

 I will now generate the commands needed to load the I2C modules.

 Sometimes, a chip is available both through the ISA bus and an I2C bus.

 ISA bus access is faster, but you need to load an additional driver
module

 for it. If you have the choice, do you want to use the ISA bus or the

 I2C/SMBus (ISA/smbus)? Driver `w83627hf' (should be inserted):

  Detects correctly:

  * ISA bus address 0x0290 (Busdriver `i2c-isa')

    Chip `Winbond W83627HF Super IO Sensors' (confidence: 9)

 

To make the sensors modules behave correctly, add these lines to

/etc/modules.conf:

 

#----cut here----

# I2C module options

alias char-major-89 i2c-dev

#----cut here----

 

To load everything that is needed, add this to some /etc/rc* file:

 

#----cut here----

# I2C adapter drivers

modprobe i2c-isa

# I2C chip drivers

modprobe w83627hf

# sleep 2 # optional

/usr/bin/sensors -s # recommended

#----cut here----

 

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

No sensors found!

[Mark Studebaker]

you don't show w83627hf loaded.
modprobe it again to be sure then check dmesg for clues.

No sensors found!

[Mark Studebaker]

That's your problem then.
Perhaps Redhat 9 includes the module but it is lost :);
perhaps it includes it but it wasn't built by default, and you'll have to build it;
perhaps it doesn't include it and you'll need to install our package from our website.
If you don't know how to do this it will be a good learning experience :)
good luck

[lm-sensors] No sensors found!

I have followed the  directions, but I am having a tough time making this work.  After  going through all the steps, I still get the messageNo sensors found!

  This program will help you determine which I2C/SMBus modules you need to
  load to use lm_sensors most effectively. You need to have i2c and
  lm_sensors installed before running this program.
  Also, you need to be `root', or at least have access to the /dev/i2c-*
  files, for most things.
  If you have patched your kernel and have some drivers built in, you can
  safely answer NO if asked to load some modules. In this case, things may
  seem a bit confusing, but they will still work.
  
  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.
   You do not need any special privileges for this.
   Do you want to probe now? (YES/no): YES
  Probing for PCI bus adapters...
  Use driver `i2c-piix4' for device 00:14.3: Intel 82371AB PIIX4 ACPI
  Probe succesfully concluded.
  
  We will now try to load each adapter module in turn.
  Load `i2c-piix4' (say NO if built into your kernel)? (YES/no): YES
  Module loaded succesfully.
  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.
   If it is built-in into your kernel, you can safely skip this.
   i2c-dev is not loaded. Do you want to load it now? (YES/no): YES
   Module loaded succesfully.
  
   We are now going to do the adapter probings. Some adapters may hang halfway
   through; we can't really help that. Also, some chips will 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. That often
   includes address 0x69 (clock chip).
  
  Next adapter: SMBus PIIX4 adapter at fc00
  Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively): YES
  Client found at address 0x32
  Client found at address 0x50
  Probing for `SPD EEPROM'... Success!
      (confidence 8, driver `eeprom')
  Probing for `DDC monitor'... Failed!
  Probing for `Maxim MAX6900'... Failed!
  Client found at address 0x51
  Probing for `SPD EEPROM'... Success!
      (confidence 8, driver `eeprom')
  Client found at address 0x52
  Probing for `SPD EEPROM'... Success!
      (confidence 8, driver `eeprom')
  Client found at address 0x69
  
  Some chips are also accessible through the ISA bus. ISA probes are
  typically a bit more dangerous, as we have to write to I/O ports to do
  this. This is usually safe though.
  
  Do you want to scan the ISA bus? (YES/no): YES
  Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78'
    Trying address 0x0290... Failed!

  Some Super I/O chips may also contain sensors. Super I/O probes are
  typically a bit more dangerous, as we have to write to I/O ports to do
  this. This is usually safe though.

   Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done.
   Just press ENTER to continue:
  
  Driver `eeprom' (should be inserted):
    Detects correctly:
    * Bus `SMBus PIIX4 adapter at fc00'
      Busdriver `i2c-piix4', I2C address 0x50
      Chip `SPD EEPROM' (confidence: 8)
    * Bus `SMBus PIIX4 adapter at fc00'
      Busdriver `i2c-piix4', I2C address 0x51
      Chip `SPD EEPROM' (confidence: 8)
    * Bus `SMBus PIIX4 adapter at fc00'
      Busdriver `i2c-piix4', I2C address 0x52
      Chip `SPD EEPROM' (confidence: 8)
  
  
   I will now generate the commands needed to load the I2C modules.
   Sometimes, a chip is available both through the ISA bus and an I2C bus.
   ISA bus access is faster, but you need to load an additional driver module
   for it. If you have the choice, do you want to use the ISA bus or the
   I2C/SMBus (ISA/smbus)? smbus
  
  To make the sensors modules behave correctly, add these lines to
  /etc/modules.conf:
  
  #----cut here----
  # I2C module options
  alias char-major-89 i2c-dev
  #----cut here----
  
  To load everything that is needed, add this to some /etc/rc* file:
  
  #----cut here----
  # I2C adapter drivers
  modprobe i2c-piix4
  # I2C chip drivers
  modprobe eeprom
  # sleep 2 # optional
  /usr/bin/sensors -s # recommended
  #----cut here----
  
  WARNING! If you have some things built into your kernel, the list above
  will contain too many modules. Skip the appropriate ones! You really should
  try these commands right now to make sure everything is working properly.
  Monitoring programs won't work until it's done.
  
  Do you want to generate /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors? (YES/no): YES
  Copy prog/init/lm_sensors.init to /etc/rc.d/init.d/lm_sensors
  for initialization at boot time.
  
  [root at dieppe ~]# modprobe i2c-piix4
  [root at dieppe ~]# modprobe eeprom
  [root at dieppe ~]# /usr/bin/sensors -s

  Any suggestions?

I suspect youre running afoul on this question (which IIRC is going away 
soon,
since ISA is faster when its available)

anyway, in sensors-detect packaged in lm_sensors-2.9.1-3.FC4.2,
the answer is being parsed by this:
     my $use_isa = not <STDIN> =~ /\s*[Ss]/;

since your answer started with 's', youve told it not to use isa.

try rerunning, hit return for this question, and youll get ISA used.
Then see what it recommends next.

good luck.
pls report back ok/not

Thanks for the fast response.
  
  I get the exact same output and results even if I choose ISA at that  step.  I have tried removing/reinstalling the software,  unloading/loading modules, re-running sensors-detect many times and I'm  not having any luck.  I think I am missing something.  Or my  hardware is not supported.

Aha, I think compaq has its own utillity called cpqhealth.
Please google for it. (we do not have any clue how the sensors are done on compaq)

Thanks,
