YES!!! Thank you RobJ!!! It did say busy, so I tried the first link you posted. I have no idea where he got that info, or how you came across that thread, but I'm glad you linked it. I tried changing the line append initrd=bzroot acpi_enforce_resources=lax like Pauven recommended in the post. That changed the output of modprobe it87 from busy to nothing at all. Any change is good. So I tried running sensors once more just for kicks, AND IT WORKED! I'm not quite sure why, as I am pretty tired and maybe a little buzzed as well, but I'm pretty pumped. I used the output of sensors to update my sensors.conf file to what it should be. For anyone interested*: # lines starting with "#" are comments and ignored # sensor configuration chip "it8718-isa-0e80" label temp1 "CPU Temp" label temp2 "NB Temp" label temp3 "MB Temp" The temp gauges probably aren't correct*, I'll tweak those later. But it's putting out temps to Dynamix! Probably not accurate, but at least it's working. I was pretty close to calling it quits cuz it was becoming more work than it was worth. Thanks again RobJ! If there was a thanks button I'd hit that fo sho. *Edit: Updated sensors.conf file code section to accurate labels for it8718F sensor.

Thanks RobJ for the assistance. I tried your conf file, but no luck with my board. Guess it doesn't work well with phenom ii Processors. All the info I can find about lm_sensors and phenom ii is outdated. I feel like I'm missing something. I don't think it should be this hard, haha. I've successfully run sensors-detect using Perl and gotten some sensor information, like that I only have one sensor (it87), but every time I run sensors I still get the error. I don't know how to get the full name of the sensor I need to add to my conf file. I've even tried searching on diff forums and using some that others with the it87 chip have used with no luck. I'm pretty sure my chip is supported by lm-sensors, as it is listed here: http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/Devices (IT8718F) What am I missing?

I was able to install Perl from unMenu, and ran sensors-detect, and it output: Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done. Just press ENTER to continue: Driver `it87': * ISA bus, address 0xe80 Chip `ITE IT8718F Super IO Sensors' (confidence: 9) Do you want to generate /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors? (yes/NO): no To load everything that is needed, add this to one of the system initialization scripts (e.g. /etc/rc.d/rc.local): #----cut here---- # Chip drivers modprobe it87 /usr/bin/sensors -s #----cut here---- If you have some drivers 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 the needed modules are loaded. Unloading i2c-dev... OK It only found the one sensor, and I used the output to add this to my 'go' file: # modprobe for each sensor modprobe it87 cp /boot/config/plugins/dynamix/sensors.conf /etc/sensors.d I then rebooted my server and tried running sensors with the same 'no sensors found!' error. I'm not sure how to build my sensors.conf file without being able to run 'sensors'. What do you mean by 'It looks like you don't have any modules/probes installed at all, which are required for your hardware.'? How do I go about installing these modules/probes? I did try adding 'chip "it8718-isa-0290"' to my sensors.conf file as I saw that on many forums that had posters with the it87 output, with no luck. Thanks for the help!

Still new at this, not sure where to begin... Trying to build my sensors.conf file. I tried the default one outlined in the wiki with no luck (as expected). Not sure what to put in for my system. When entering sensors I get No sensors found! Make sure you loaded all the kernel drivers you need. Try sensors-detect to find out which these are. Anyone else get this error? Would installing the perl package help with sensors-detect call? If so what is a good place to put perl pkg (and future installs) on my flash to install it? After install will it be a part of unRAID from now on, or would I have to installpkg it every time? I ask cuz I don't want to have a bunch of stuff running on my rig that I never use. Thanks in advance for the clarification and advice.
