Hi *,
I've been fiddling with lm-sensors 2.5.5 recently to try to get it to
work. I'm using Mandrake 7.2. I was using version 2.4.2 which does have
better support for sensors devices, and patched up to 2.4.5 (but that
didn't work - I got a 'ran out of input data, system halted' message, so
back to the Mandrake kernel 2.2.17-mdk).
I've rebuilt lm-sensors and installed it, but at present it can't
access the proc file - permissions don't seem to matter, as I've run
the sensors binary as root. I've put in the suggested lines in rc.local and
in /etc/modules.conf that the sensors-detect program suggested. When
I run 'sensors' I get one line output, "can't read /proc file".
I've an ASUS A7V133 mainboard, and the sensors-detect program suggested
I use a via686a module, yet when I modprobe it, it says it can't be found.
I then look in /lib/modules/2.2.17-mdk/misc, sure enough it isn't there. I
peek in the chips directory, there is a via686a module but I can't bring the
module in, I get a lot of unresolved symbols. I've made sure to run 'depmod
-a'.
Any suggestions? I was hoping to upgrade to kernel 2.4.5, but in looking into
the kernel config file I don't see anything that exactly matches the probe
that my mainboard uses.
