I'm writing because I need help to configure lm-sensors to work on an old Asus TUSL2-C motherboard. I read a lot of documentation on lm-sensors website and wiki and I did some searches with Google, however I can't understand what I'm doing wrong. First of all, I'm using a Linux distribution based on Debian Squeeze: precisely, it's OpenMediaVault 0.4. "uname -a" shows: Linux openmediavault 2.6.32-5-686 #1 SMP Sun Sep 23 09:49:36 UTC 2012 i686 GNU/Linux and "sensors -v" shows: sensors version 3.1.2 with libsensors version 3.1.2 I installed lm-sensors with "apt-get install lm-sensors". Then, I launched "sensors-detect". The problem is: no sensor is found. The only relevant output is given at the end: --- Do you want to probe the I2C/SMBus adapters now? (YES/no): Using driver `i2c-i801' for device 0000:00:1f.3: Intel 82801BA ICH2 Sorry, no sensors were detected. --- So, if I understand it correctly, the i2c-i801 driver is found and queried, but no sensors are found there. I then made some researches on the Internet and found the following information. At: http://lists.lm-sensors.org/pipermail/lm-sensors/2005-March/011402.html a user says that lm-sensors works with Asus TUSL2-C. I also found out the example configuration file at: http://www.lm-sensors.org/browser/lm-sensors/trunk/etc/sensors.conf.eg?rev)64 which mentions the TUSL2-C: for it the AS99127F chip should apply. Then, if I look at: http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/Devices I actually find that the AS99127F chip is supported by the w83781d driver since kernel 2.5.67, however the sensors-detect program shows this: Probing for `Winbond W83781D' at 0x290... No Further searching brings this: http://www.lm-sensors.org/ticket/1317 which seems to say that it's a known issue that no sensors are found on the TUSL2-C. It also says to see the FAQ, but the FAQ doesn't say anything in particular for this motherboard or for that chip. I then tried the following: - run "modprobe w83781d", then run "sensors": still "No sensors found" - created a file named "asus.conf" under /etc/sensors.d (it's not clear to me if the custom configuration file in /etc/sensors.d can be named as I like, or if I must give it a specific name...) and put in it all the contents from sensors.conf.eg related to the AS99127F chip, then run "sensors" or even "sensors -c /etc/sensors.d/asus.conf" (do I need to specify the config location??): still "No sensors found" I don't know what else to try! :-( Thanks in advance, Mauro. _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@lm-sensors.org http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
