A simpler way: - make sure you have CONFIG_I2C_CHARDEV=y, CONFIG_I2C_HELPER_AUTO=y and select the correct I2C hardware bus drivers for your platform (CONFIG_I2C_I801 for most recent Intel chipsets and CONFIG_I2C_PIIX4 for most recent AMD chipsets; reading the help text of the various drivers should point you in the right direction); - emerge sys-apps/lm_sensors - run sensors-detect - enable the drivers for all the things sensors-detect finds. Hopefully you won't have any unsupported chips... - you can then add lm_sensors to the default runlevel, so that it loads the correct modules during the boot process. The final step is to configure the software you use to display the sensor readings. It is usually a matter of attaching the correct labels to the various inputs, and possibly tweaking the scaling factors so that the readings match those shown by the BIOS; as the details depend on the specific manufacturer and model of your board, this will usually be a trial and error process, although google might help you. The comments in /etc/sensor3.conf, which controls software using the libraries provided by lm_sensors, are also a useful source of information. > cat /sys/devices/platform/ This will miss those sensors which do not appear as a platform device (e.g. the AMD k10 on-die temperature sensors, which is a PCI device). andrea
