I have a Dell Inspiron 8200, from March 2002. Since end of
December 2004 I've started having system lockups which at first
I couldn't identify, although they seemed to be overheating
related. So I started monitoring the temperatures on all the
components in my system (I can monitor CPU, GPU and HD temp;
more on this later), and noticed that the lockups happen when
the HD temp gets around 40 C. Indeed, they are 99% of the time
preceded by a loud "click" coming from the HD wereabouts ...
haven't lost any data yet but I've started backing up
everything and getting ready to get a replacement HD.
Concerning sensors, though: under Windows I can use the
i8kfangui applet to monitor all the sensors provided in the
computer, but under Linux I only seem able to get the CPU
temperature, using the i8k module, and no other sensor module
seems to be loadable. Does anybody know how to access the other
sensors on the Dell Inspiron? Or should I suggest Massimo to
upgrade the i8k module to add the new sensors (i8kfangui has a
GPL source code so it shouldn't be a problem) and possibly
interface it all with the Linux sensors framework?
