lm_sensors

To get hardware monitoring working, you'll need the latest lm_sensors2 package.
At the time of writing this would be 2.8.1.
Download the package here.

The following modules have to be loaded:

• w83627hf
• i2c-i801
• i2c-isa
• i2c-proc
• i2c-dev
• i2c-algo-bit
• i2c-core

I recommend compiling the modules seperate from the kernel. Patching the kernel
will not work out-of-the-box . A clever user may get it to work, but
u'll need to copy some files into the kernel tree manually and edit the Makefile.


However i provide a kernel-patch which includes:

• lm_sensors 2.8.0 + fix for P4P800
• i2c 2.8.0
• build-in 3Com driver for P4P800 (not working, yet)
• build-in dazuko driver (needed by AntiVir)
• Wireless extensions V16
• Working Crypto API

You can download the patch here


After loading the modules you'll get a new directory in /proc:
/proc/sys/dev/sensors/w83627hf-isa-0290

If it's not there, make sure all modules are loaded. If a modprobe of i2c-i801 fails,
you are still using an older lm_sensors package.

Again: It will not work with any version prior to 2.8.0!


A big THANKS goes to Mark D. Studebaker and the lm_sensors dev team who
helped me patch the i2c-i801 module to work with the new Intel 865 chipset,
and also showed me how to hack the w83627hf module for hardware sensor
support on the P4P800 Deluxe.
