Hi,
another alternative may be IPMI. If supported by the hardware:
# yum install OpenIPMI-tools OpenIPMI
# service ipmi start
# ipmitool sdr type temperature
mb.t_amb | 05h | ok | 7.0 | 25 degrees C
fp.t_amb | 14h | ok | 12.0 | 20 degrees C
pdb.t_amb | 1Bh | ok | 19.0 | 17 degrees C
io.t_amb | 22h | ok | 15.0 | 20 degrees C
p0.t_core | 29h | ok | 3.0 | 41 degrees C
p1.t_core | 32h | ok | 3.1 | 40 degrees C
Cheers,
Stephan

Hi,
I have no idea about other distro's, but I haven't found a machine yet
running SL4 or SL5 that fills in /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/
The tool in Scientific Linux for finding temperatures, fan speeds, and other
stuff is lm_sensors.
To get it setup, make sure it is installed
yum install lm_sensors
Turn it on
/etc/init.d/lm_sensors start
Then run the configuration tool as root
/usr/sbin/sensors-detect
I always just take the defaults, so I just hit return on everything.
After it is done and written out a config file, restart lm_sensors and see
what sensors are detected and being monitored
/etc/init.d/lm_sensors restart
/usr/bin/sensors
It usually has way more than you care about. Most people don't care about
the memory cards that much, so you can edit what get's monitored in
/etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors
I can't remember if lm_sensors is on by default or not, but just incase it
isn't, turn it on by default
/sbin/chkconfig --level 345 lm_sensors on

Hello,
we have to use SL4.6 on a Dual-OpteronQuadcore system and want to get the
thermal info for the cpus.
But /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/ is empty. :(
We use kernel 2.6.9-78.0.1.ELsmp.
It's working without any problems when installing another linux
distribution like Slackware/SLAMD64 - but we should use Scientific
Linux....
Does anybody know how to get it working?
Cheers,
Marcus
