Description Alexander Weber 2004-11-25 07:00:25 UTC

mondo tries to find the system sensors by using /proc/sys/dev/sensors/chips. Which is not available with kernel 2.6. Disabling the check in /etc/init.d/mondo results in a segmentation fault :-( In the mondo forum (see link) there is a small hack that can be used as workaround, but i think mondo should be blocked, for kernel 2.6 because the hack is not really good (only one sensors is supported, for which you need to know the ID).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. use a 2.6 - kernel 
2. emerge mondo
3. try to run it (/etc/init.d/mondo start)

Actual Results:  
"You need to setup lm_sensors first" (even if there are set up - the problem is
the check for /proc/sys/... (see above). If the check is removed, then mondo
seg-faults.

Expected Results:  
a working mondo.

System uname: 2.6.9-gentoo-r4 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz
