May 31, 201214 yr I've been working a bit to try and get lm_sensors to work with my unraid while I wait for my new 1.5 TB drives to preclear. Before we get too far, let me give you some hardware / software information. UnRaid Version: 4.7 Motherboard: Abit VA-20 Processor: AMD XP 2400+ Here's what I've done so far: Installed unmenu and used the package manager to install perl. Run sensors-detect, which outputs the following: root@MediaServer:/etc/sysconfig# sensors-detect perl: warning: Setting locale failed. perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings: LANGUAGE = (unset), LC_ALL = (unset), LC_COLLATE = "C", LANG = "en_US" are supported and installed on your system. perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C"). # sensors-detect revision 5337 (2008-09-19 17:05:28 +0200) This program will help you determine which kernel modules you need to load to use lm_sensors most effectively. 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. Do you want to probe now? (YES/no): yes Probing for PCI bus adapters... Use driver `i2c-viapro' for device 0000:00:11.0: VIA Technologies VT8237 South Bridge We will now try to load each adapter module in turn. Load `i2c-viapro' (say NO if built into your kernel)? (YES/no): yes FATAL: Module i2c_viapro not found. Loading failed... skipping. If you have undetectable or unsupported I2C/SMBus adapters, you can have them scanned by manually loading the modules before running this script. We are now going to do the I2C/SMBus adapter probings. Some chips may 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. Some chips are also accessible through the ISA I/O ports. We have to write to arbitrary I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe though. Yes, you do have ISA I/O ports even if you do not have any ISA slots! Do you want to scan the ISA I/O ports? (YES/no): ^C root@MediaServer:/etc/sysconfig# apt-get -bash: apt-get: command not found root@MediaServer:/etc/sysconfig# yum -bash: yum: command not found root@MediaServer:/etc/sysconfig# sensors-detect perl: warning: Setting locale failed. perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings: LANGUAGE = (unset), LC_ALL = (unset), LC_COLLATE = "C", LANG = "en_US" are supported and installed on your system. perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C"). # sensors-detect revision 5337 (2008-09-19 17:05:28 +0200) This program will help you determine which kernel modules you need to load to use lm_sensors most effectively.

No Some Super I/O chips may also contain sensors. We have to write to standard I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe. Do you want to scan for Super I/O sensors? (YES/no): yes Probing for Super-I/O at 0x2e/0x2f Trying family `National Semiconductor'... No Trying family `SMSC'... No Trying family `VIA/Winbond/Fintek'... No Trying family `ITE'... Yes Found `ITE IT8705F Super IO Sensors' Success! (address 0x290, driver `it87') Probing for Super-I/O at 0x4e/0x4f Trying family `National Semiconductor'... No Trying family `SMSC'... No Trying family `VIA/Winbond/Fintek'... No Trying family `ITE'... Yes Found `ITE IT8705F Super IO Sensors' Success! (address 0x290, driver `it87') Some south bridges, CPUs or memory controllers may also contain embedded sensors. Do you want to scan for them? (YES/no): yes Silicon Integrated Systems SIS5595... No VIA VT82C686 Integrated Sensors... No VIA VT8231 Integrated Sensors... No AMD K8 thermal sensors... No AMD K10 thermal sensors... No Intel Core family thermal sensor... No Intel AMB FB-DIMM thermal sensor... No VIA C7 thermal and voltage sensors... No Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done. Just press ENTER to continue: Driver `it87' (should be inserted): Detects correctly: * ISA bus, address 0x290 Chip `ITE IT8705F Super IO Sensors' (confidence: 9) Do you want to overwrite /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors? (YES/no): yes Copy prog/init/lm_sensors.init to /etc/init.d/lm_sensors for initialization at boot time. You should now start the lm_sensors service to load the required kernel modules. Great. So I run lm_sensors which takes me to the next command line (no output). Then I run sensors and get this: root@MediaServer:/etc/sysconfig# sensors No sensors found! Make sure you loaded all the kernel drivers you need. Try sensors-detect to find out which these are. root@MediaServer:/etc/sysconfig# Crap. So I looked around and some people have suggested trying to run modprobe it87, because the drivers are built into the kernel. Running modprobe returns the following: root@MediaServer:/etc/sysconfig# modprobe it87 FATAL: Module it87 not found. root@MediaServer:/etc/sysconfig# Hmmm. Further digging on the forums someone suggested running ls-la /sys/devices/platform to see if it87 was listed. Output was as follows: root@MediaServer:/etc/sysconfig# ls -la /sys/devices/platform total 0 drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 0 May 30 19:49 ./ drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 0 May 30 19:49 ../ drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 0 May 30 19:49 floppy.0/ drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 0 May 30 19:49 i8042/ drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 0 May 30 19:49 pcspkr/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 May 30 21:54 power/ drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 0 May 30 21:54 serial8250/ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 May 30 19:49 uevent root@MediaServer:/etc/sysconfig# Well now, that is interesting. I looked at lm_sensors and it's attempting to load it87 as it detected, but for some reason my system doesn't seem to have that module available. I looked around in /etc and found Sensors3.conf (which as I understand it, is used by default with LM_SENSORS if no sensors.conf exists). I've attempted replacing Sensors3.conf with a config file I found online for my motherboard here: http://lists.lm-sensors.org/pipermail/lm-sensors/2007-August/020777.html But alas, this did not help either. I'm at a loss for what to do next. Is there a way to use insmod to place it87 modules on my system?
