It seems the current version of this software 
(http://www.nt.phys.kyushu-u.ac.jp/shimizu/download/download.html)
is older than anything I get with CentOS.

I found an interesting thread here, but this would involve compiling a 
kernel module and installing a non-Centos lm_sensors.

relies on lm_sensors according to the homepage. (and sys_fs, AFAIK 
lm_sensors picks up sys_fs if it's available.)

I'm having the same problems with lm_sensors with newer motherboards (ones 
from the last two years), some work, some don't. On some AMD motherboards 
it helps to "rmmod k8temp" to get a reading. On some it doesn't.
I have one Intel board with I think Intel 5000X where lm_sensors also 
fails with a message like "no sys_fs" or so, I don't really remember.
Do others know any tricks to get the data nevertheless?
I think the kernel and lm_sensors on Centos 5 are simply too old for some 
chipsets. Also, there's sometimes a discrepancy between the support in the 
kernel and in lm_sensors.

I don't know if it's good or what you want, but I use gkrellm

$ rpm -qa|grep gkrel
gkrellm-2.2.7-0.el5.rf.i386

It's in the rpmforge repo.

It's highly configurable. I have a "minimalist" configuration. I've
attached a snapshot.

[CentOS] looking for motherboard / temp / hdd monitor, other than lmsensors

2008-07-11 Thread Rudi Ahlers

Hi all

What other good temp / motherboard / fan speed / HDD / etc monitor can I 
use on CentOS 5.1 (or even 5.2 - still need to upgrade)? I know 
lmsensors works ok'ish, but it doesn't pickup my Gigabyte motherboard 
properly.
