I'm a bit confused about the use of the term "squeezy" in this thread. Squeeze
and Wheezy are two different releases, aren't they?. I was unable to install
wheezy directly to my SS4000E. However, I was able to install squeeze and then
do a dist-upgrade to wheezy. So, if someone could point me to the files used
to install wheezy directly, I'd appreciate it.
As to sensors and fancontrol: There's sort of a trick to running
sensors-detect. Say yes to the first question and then no to the next three
otherwise you get a kernel oops. Say yes to any further questions; especially
the one asking if you want it added to "/etc/modules". Finally, run "modprobe
w83792d" to enable the sensors module before you start with the fancontrol
stuff.
Here's a copy of my /etc/fancontrol file. It checks every 30 seconds, mostly
to cut down on the fan-nuisance factor. The target temperature is 55 degrees
C. I don't know what Intel's target temperature was.
# Configuration file generated by pwmconfig, changes will be lost
INTERVAL=30
DEVPATH=hwmon0=devices/platform/IOP3xx-I2C.0/i2c-0/0-002d
DEVNAME=hwmon0=w83792d
FCTEMPS=hwmon0/device/pwm1=hwmon0/device/temp1_input
FCFANS=hwmon0/device/pwm1=hwmon0/device/fan1_input
MINTEMP=hwmon0/device/pwm1=55
MAXTEMP=hwmon0/device/pwm1=65
MINSTART=hwmon0/device/pwm1=255
MINSTOP=hwmon0/device/pwm1=240
Run "#/etc/init.d/fancontrol start" to start fan control.
I haven't looked into enabling LEDs and the front panel switch yet.
Just as a side note, the source code for Intel's final version - 1.4 - is
available on their site. It doesn't include items not protected by the GPL,
which I suspect are the web interface items. The hwcontrol code is there, but
I understand that there are patches out there somewhere that someone has
already created.

I will mail you in private too.
But you won't find anything on sensors, IIRC...
I've just installed the fancontrol package, configured it, and all was
fine (always IIRC).
