I have recently started trying to install lm sensors on my computer which has a Soyo KT400 Dragon Ultra Platinum motherboard. I have had very mixed results with the sensors including some very hard to diagnose hard locks on the machine when I attempt to load the sensor modules.
Does anyone here have any experience working with lmsensors and want to take a crack at helping me figure out the problem. Scenario, I installed lmsensors by RPM, ran sensors-detect and let it create the /etc/sysconfig/lmsensors configuration file. When I restarted the computer, the lmsensors init script kicked off, showed loading modules and then nothing, hard lock. I power cycled the machine, booted into failsafe mode, disabled lmsensors init script and went back into Linux. I manually tried to load lmsensors init script and it hard locked again. I rebooted, went back and tried to manually load the modules that are loading from the script and they loaded fine. I then manually unloaded the modules and they also unloaded fine. I rewrote the lmsensors init script so that it was manually loading the modules rather than pulling them from the /etc/sysconfig/lmsensors file. I ran the script and it loaded the modules, then stopped the script and it unloaded the modules. When I went to restart it, the machine hard locked again. I am currently trying to load only the i2c-viapro, i2c-isa, i2c-it87 and it2-lm75 modules and skipping the adm1021 and eeprom modules since my machine appears to have the most issues with the adm1021 module and I don't really need the eeprom one. I have just edited my modules file to load the i2c-proc module at bootup rather than letting it load from the lmsensors init script. If anyone has any suggestions for me, I would really appreciate it. BTW, sensors.conf is stock and I did not add any lines to /etc/modules.conf except the alias for char-major-89 i2c-dev because the other adm1021 line should not be needed since I am not loading adm1021. -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer
