Hi,

A little while ago I got an Abit KT7-raid... I've got lm_sensors working
on it, but I dont think its working properly (or at least reporting the
data). I'm attaching the output of the 'sensors' program that comes with
lm_sensors.

Question 1:
Note how there is an "alarm" about my cpu core voltage. I would have
worried about it if it was over, but because its below the limit, I
didnt do anything about it. The system has been up for 27 days and still
going... no stability problems so far. Can anyone shed some light on why
'sensors' is chucking a fit about the voltage?

Question2:
If you take a look at my temperatures... there seems to be 3 of them.
This is weird because I have looked in the manual and on the motherboard
and (as far as I can tell) there should only be 2... the "cpu" and the
"system" temperature. Is it at all possible that lm_sensors is inventing
this 3rd sensor (the "SBr" temperature)? Anyone here have a KT7 and know
what the third sensor is supposed to be monitoring?

Question3:
Does anyone have any idea as to how lm_sensors detemines these labels..
like "cpu temp" etc? I seriously doubt that the numbers are incorrect,
but I think that it might be scrambling the labels around. For
example... notice that my System temperature is reported as being the
2nd highest. Doesn't logic dictate that the system temperature should be
the *lowest* ? And if this "SBr" is a chip, that warrants the use of
temperature monitoring, there is no way in hell that it will have a
temperature lower than the system temp! (yet it seems to). Leads me to
believe that 'sensors' has wrongly assigned the labels. Any ideas?

This is not really a vital matter... I'm just happy to have lm_sensors
actually working. But it's just getting annoying gradually. If you can
help me out... then please do.

Thanks in advance,

Arun
