[lm-sensors] Supermicro C2SBE

[lm-sensors] Supermicro C2SBE

[Romain Dolbeau]

As I have posted the dmidecode for this board, I'll mention it for the
sake of completeness.

I don't have any configuration for the C2SBE, as the on board W83627DHG
is seen on the ISA bus (not on i2c?) but doesn't display anything.
Here's what dmesg has to say:

w83627ehf: Found W83627DHG chip at 0x290
w83627ehf w83627ehf.656: VID pins in output mode, CPU VID not available

Can you include what this "nothing" looks like exactly? If that's all
zeroes, the chip is there but unused. If that's nothing at all, it
suggests that your version of libsensors is too old. Support for the
W83627DHG was added in lm-sensors 2.10.2.

Some boards don't use the integrated monitoring features of the
Super-I/O, if the manufacturer prefers to add a dedicated monitoring
chip on the SMBus. sensors-detect should tell. If that's a recent
board, you need a recent version of sensors-detect:

D*amn. Bitten by Debian again. Stable is (still) at 2.10.1 ...

And the nothing is just nothing.

I think what I really need is some nice developer adding 2.10.6 to
etch-backports :-) Unfortunately I don't have the time to do it
myself... :-( (it's already difficult to justify with my boss spending
time tweaking sensors.conf :-)

If anyone can do this I guess it would be Aurélien (Cc'd.)

I dbuild'ed lm-sensors 3.0.1 on a non-critical machine, and it worked
Just Fine(tm).

I then got the details from the Supermicro support (fast and helpful,
thanks guys & gals, that's why I keep buying Supermicro stuff!), and
I've added the first version of the file to the wiki. Should also be
fine for the C2SBA (the C2SBE reports itself as a C2SBA in dmidecode...
only the C2SBE doesn't have the on-board video).

I'll try doing the C2SBX when I finally get the board (hold by my
supplier because, of all reasons, he can't get proper memory for it...),
as I also got the details from Supermicro.
