Hi, everyone. I have two related questions about my new system, which now has a Celeron 420 CPU and Mandriva 2008.0 kernel 2.6.22.15-desktop-1.uc1mdv, among other things.
I'm using lm_sensors version 2.10.4 to get the data from the IT8718 Super I/O chip. (I can't get version 3 to compile yet.) I've figured out that voltage in0 is VCore, in1 is VDDR, in2 is 3.3V, in3 and in4 are +5 and +12 scaled at the usual ratios, and in7 is Standby 5V. The ones that I'm stumped on are in5, which is always zero and always has the alarm bit set, and in6, which is a constant 0.704V. Any ideas what in6 might represent? It doesn't fit with the usual scaling for -5 or -12V. Also, I found out that the CPU includes some register that actually measures the on-die core temp, separately from the two sensors connected to the IT8718. Apparently lm_sensors can use the 'coretemp' module to read this on supported Intel CPUs, but that module seems to be broken on my system: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ sudo modprobe coretemp FATAL: Error inserting coretemp (/lib/modules/2.6.22.15-desktop-1.uc1mdv/kernel/drivers/hwmon/coretemp.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) Is there any other way to read this value? I know it's possible, as I've found Win programs that can read it, and it's separate from the sensors -- the sensors are usually around 24C and 34C, and core temp is around 50C. I did manage to find C source for a version of the 'coretemp' module, but I couldn't understand it. I'm not having any problems with voltages or overheating, just curious about these things. Thanks very much for anyone who can point me in the right direction!
