Hi all, I have just updated my laptop (HP Compaq 6730s) to Wheezy and I am diagnosing my first problem. The fan control deamon refuses to run and I think lm-sensors is unable to find/configure the fan control system. I suspect it a bug with the lm-sensors package.
After the install I get the following message on boot up: === [warn] Not starting fancontrol; run pwmconfig first. ... (warning). === Running pwmconfig I get the following error message: === /usr/sbin/pwmconfig: There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed === Running the 'sensors' command I turn up the following: === acpitz-virtual-0 Adapter: Virtual device temp1: +53.0°C (crit = +110.0°C) temp2: +49.0°C (crit = +256.0°C) temp3: +49.0°C (crit = +112.0°C) temp4: +51.0°C (crit = +105.0°C) temp5: +30.6°C (crit = +112.0°C) temp6: +50.0°C (crit = +110.0°C) coretemp-isa-0000 Adapter: ISA adapter Core 0: +45.0°C (high = +105.0°C, crit = +105.0°C) Core 1: +49.0°C (high = +105.0°C, crit = +105.0°C) === Googling around for the problem I think the problem is that the sensors command is not listing any fan control devices. Can anyone confirm that this is the problem? I did run sensor-detect to find any chipset specific modules and it added 'coretemp' to /etc/modules but I think detected no chipset specific modules. What is interesting is that it found an unknown Super I/O chip: === .... 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): y Probing for Super-I/O at 0x2e/0x2f Trying family `National Semiconductor/ITE'... No Trying family `SMSC'... Yes Found unknown chip with ID 0x4501 Probing for Super-I/O at 0x4e/0x4f Trying family `National Semiconductor/ITE'... No Trying family `SMSC'... No Trying family `VIA/Winbond/Nuvoton/Fintek'... No Trying family `ITE'... No ... === I think that the problem is that the kernel can not figure out how to control the fan. Is this the correct diagnosis or have I done a misdiagnosis? In my google searches I found references to control files like /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/device/fan1_input which don't exist on my system. Any help would be appropriated. I think I need to report a bug with the lm-sensors package. Tim. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
