OptiPlex 745 # Board: Dell Inc. 0WF810 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. Some south bridges, CPUs or memory controllers contain embedded sensors. Do you want to scan for them? This is totally safe. (YES/no): 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... Success! (driver `coretemp') Intel AMB FB-DIMM thermal sensor... No VIA C7 thermal and voltage sensors... No Some Super I/O chips contain embedded 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): Probing for Super-I/O at 0x2e/0x2f Trying family `National Semiconductor'... No Trying family `SMSC'... Yes Found `SMSC SCH5514D-NS Super IO' (no hardware monitoring capabilities) 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'... No Some systems (mainly servers) implement IPMI, a set of common interfaces through which system health data may be retrieved, amongst other things. We first try to get the information from SMBIOS. If we don't find it there, we have to read from arbitrary I/O ports to probe for such interfaces. This is normally safe. Do you want to scan for IPMI interfaces? (YES/no): Probing for `IPMI BMC KCS' at 0xca0... No Probing for `IPMI BMC SMIC' at 0xca8... No Some hardware monitoring chips are 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): Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78' at 0x290... No Probing for `National Semiconductor LM79' at 0x290... No Probing for `Winbond W83781D' at 0x290... No Probing for `Winbond W83782D' at 0x290... No Lastly, we can probe the I2C/SMBus adapters for connected hardware monitoring devices. This is the most risky part, and while it works reasonably well on most systems, it has been reported to cause trouble on some systems. Do you want to probe the I2C/SMBus adapters now? (YES/no): Using driver `i2c-i801' for device 0000:00:1f.3: Intel 82801H ICH8 FATAL: Module i2c_i801 not found. Failed to load module i2c-i801. Next adapter: intel drm CRTDDC_A (i2c-0) Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively): Next adapter: SMBus I801 adapter at ece0 (i2c-1) Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively): Client found at address 0x50 Probing for `Analog Devices ADM1033'... No Probing for `Analog Devices ADM1034'... No Probing for `SPD EEPROM'... Yes (confidence 8, not a hardware monitoring chip) Probing for `EDID EEPROM'... No Client found at address 0x52 Probing for `Analog Devices ADM1033'... No Probing for `Analog Devices ADM1034'... No Probing for `SPD EEPROM'... Yes (confidence 8, not a hardware monitoring chip) Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done. Just press ENTER to continue: Driver `coretemp': * Chip `Intel Core family thermal sensor' (confidence: 9) Warning: the required module coretemp is not currently installed on your system. If it is built into the kernel then it's OK. Otherwise, check http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/Devices for driver availability. No modules to load, skipping modules configuration. Yes, I do have "CONFIG_SENSORS_CORETEMP=y" in the kernel .config.
We will drop the check as part of a requested change from bug 490502.

You > have to use mechanism your init system provides to do that (i.e. make > sure your init system's modules-load service is enabled). > > - Ebuild is now multilib compatible (see bug 529684) > > - Runscripts no longer passes config file as argument. While this removes > the possibility to use different configurations per default services it > allows you to use "/etc/sensors.d" (see bug 490502 and bug 307249) > > - Runscripts improved in general. I.e. if you start fancontrol service > without a valid config (so that fancontrol doesn't start and exit with > an error) you will now know at least, that the service didn't start. > Now you will also have reliable status functions to know service state. > > Gentoo-Bug: https://bugs.gentoo.org/592916 > Gentoo-Bug: https://bugs.gentoo.org/529684 > Gentoo-Bug: https://bugs.gentoo.org/490502 > Gentoo-Bug: https://bugs.gentoo.org/307249 > > Package-Manager: portage-2.3.0
