[gentoo-user] lm_sensors problem

[Allan Spagnol Comar]

Hi all,

I had installed lm_sensors and kernel modules, now when I run sensors
command I got:

monstro ~ # sensors
it8712-isa-0290
Adapter: ISA adapter
VCore 1:   +1.41 V  (min =  +1.42 V, max =  +1.57 V)   ALARM
VCore 2:   +0.00 V  (min =  +2.40 V, max =  +2.61 V)   ALARM
+3.3V:     +6.53 V  (min =  +3.14 V, max =  +3.46 V)   ALARM
+5V:       +5.00 V  (min =  +4.76 V, max =  +5.24 V)
+12V:     +11.84 V  (min = +11.39 V, max = +12.61 V)
-12V:      -4.17 V  (min = -12.63 V, max = -11.41 V)   ALARM
-5V:      -13.64 V  (min =  -5.26 V, max =  -4.77 V)   ALARM
Stdby:     +4.89 V  (min =  +4.76 V, max =  +5.24 V)
VBat:      +3.12 V
fan1:        0 RPM  (min =    0 RPM, div = 8)
fan2:        0 RPM  (min = 3013 RPM, div = 8)          ALARM
fan3:     6750 RPM  (min = 3013 RPM, div = 8)
M/B Temp:    +35 C  (low  =   +15 C, high =   +40 C)   sensor = thermistor
CPU Temp:    +40 C  (low  =   +15 C, high =   +45 C)   sensor = thermistor
Temp3:       +27 C  (low  =   +15 C, high =   +45 C)   sensor = thermistor

how you all can see VCore2 is unavailable and -5 and -12 information
seems to be switched,

does anyone had a clue about it, I am running on a nvidia4 base motherboard.

thanks, Allan

You'll need to change some settings in /etc/sensors.conf for your sensor chip.
Your output seems a lot like mine with a default config so I'll paste the 
relevant part of my config, I have a Asus A8N SLI-Deluxe with a 
it8712-isa-0290.

After you've modified /etc/sensors.conf you need to run `sensors -s` for the 
changes to take effect. You also need to run `sensors -s` after a reboot.
Unless you use the sensors init.d script you can add that command 
to /etc/conf.d/local.start

# cat /etc/sensors.conf

chip "it87-*" "it8712-*"

# Modified for Asus A8N SLI-Deluxe

# Voltage monitors as advised in the It8705 data sheet

    label in0 "VCore 1"
    label in1 "VCore 2"
    label in2 "+3.3V"
    label in3 "+5V"
    label in4 "+12V"
    label in5 "-5V"
    label in6 "-12V"
    label in7 "Stdby"
    label in8 "VBat"

    # vid is not monitored by IT8705F
    # comment out if you have IT8712
    ignore  vid
    ignore  in1

# Incubus Saturnus reports that the IT87 chip on Asus A7V8X-X seems
# to report the VCORE voltage approximately 0.05V higher than the board's
# BIOS does. Although it doesn't make much sense physically, uncommenting
# the next line should bring the readings in line with the BIOS' ones in
# this case.
# compute in0 -0.05+@ , @+0.05

# If 3.3V reads 2X too high (Soyo Dragon and Asus A7V8X-X, for example),
# comment out following line.
#    compute in2   2*@ , @/2
#
    compute in3 ((6.8/10)+1)*@ ,  @/((6.8/10)+1)
    compute in4 ((30/10) +1)*@  , @/((30/10) +1)
# For this family of chips the negative voltage equation is different from
# the lm78.  The chip uses two external resistor for scaling but one is
# tied to a positive reference voltage.  See ITE8705/12 datasheet (SIS950
# data sheet is wrong)
# Vs = (1 + Rin/Rf) * Vin - (Rin/Rf) * Vref.
# Vref = 4.096 volts, Vin is voltage measured, Vs is actual voltage.

# The next two are negative voltages (-12 and -5).
# The following formulas must be used. Unfortunately the datasheet
# does not give recommendations for Rin, Rf, but we can back into
# them based on a nominal +2V input to the chip, together with a 4.096V Vref.
# Formula:
#    actual V = (Vmeasured * (1 + Rin/Rf)) - (Vref * (Rin/Rf))
#    For -12V input use Rin/Rf = 6.68
#    For -5V input use Rin/Rf = 3.33
# Then you can convert the forumula to a standard form like:
    compute in5 (7.67 * @) - 27.36  ,  (@ + 27.36) / 7.67
    compute in6 (4.33 * @) - 13.64  ,  (@ + 13.64) / 4.33
#
# this much simpler version is reported to work for a
# Elite Group K7S5A board
#
#   compute in5 -(36/10)*@, -@/(36/10)
#   compute in6 -(56/10)*@, -@/(56/10)
#
    compute in7 ((6.8/10)+1)*@ ,  @/((6.8/10)+1)

<OT>

Is it possible to install lm_sensors with gentoo-kernel too, or only
with genkernel? I tried with gentoo-sources, but got this error:

_________________________________________________________

 * Found kernel source directory:

 * Please ensure that /usr/src/linux points to a configured set of Linux sources.
 * If you are using KBUILD_OUTPUT, please set the environment var so that
 * it points to the necessary object directory so that it might find .config.

Yes, it is.

This error means that your /usr/src/linux symlink points to unconfigured
kernel sources. Many, if not all, external packages that compile against
the kernel have this requirement.

You don't have to make (compile) or install the kernel *right now*
(although you will obviously want to do that asap), but you do have to
run some type of config (make menuconfig, make xconfig, whatever) and
save a configuration with proper support for the sensors before
lm_sensors will compile the modules.

HTH,
Holly

Yes, you are right. My fault, because I always move /usr/src/linux/.config
to /boot/config-kernel-x.x.x together with new kernel (to save it).
I have put it back and all works. Thanks.
