This program will help you determine which kernel modules you need
to load to use lm_sensors most effectively. It is generally safe
and recommended to accept the default answers to all questions,
unless you know what you're doing.
We can start with probing for (PCI) I2C or SMBus adapters.
Do you want to probe now? (YES/no): y
Probing for PCI bus adapters...
Use driver `i2c-nforce2' for device 0000:00:01.1: nVidia Corporation nForce4 SMBus (MCP55)
We will now try to load each adapter module in turn.
Module `i2c-nforce2' already loaded.
If you have undetectable or unsupported adapters, you can have them
scanned by manually loading the modules before running this script.
We are now going to do the I2C/SMBus adapter probings. Some chips may
be double detected; we choose the one with the highest confidence
value in that case.
If you found that the adapter hung after probing a certain address,
you can specify that address to remain unprobed.
Next adapter: SMBus nForce2 adapter at 4400 (i2c-3)
Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively): yes
Next adapter: SMBus nForce2 adapter at 4440 (i2c-2)
Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively): yes
Next adapter: SMBus nForce2 adapter at 3400 (i2c-1)
Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively): yes

Some chips are also accessible through the ISA I/O ports. We have to
write to arbitrary I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe though.
Yes, you do have ISA I/O ports even if you do not have any ISA slots!

Some Super I/O chips may also contain sensors. We have to write to
standard I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe.

Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done.
Just press ENTER to continue:
Driver `eeprom' (should be inserted):
Detects correctly:

EEPROMs are *NOT* sensors! They are data storage chips commonly
found on memory modules (SPD), in monitors (EDID), or in some
laptops, for example.
Driver `w83627hf' (should be inserted):
Detects correctly:
* ISA bus, address 0xc00
Chip `Winbond W83627HF Super IO Sensors' (confidence: 9)
Driver `k8temp' (should be inserted):
Detects correctly:
* Chip `AMD K8 thermal sensors' (confidence: 9)
I will now generate the commands needed to load the required modules.
Just press ENTER to continue:
To make the sensors modules behave correctly, add these lines to
/etc/modules.conf:
#----cut here----
# I2C module options
alias char-major-89 i2c-dev
#----cut here----
To load everything that is needed, add this to some /etc/rc* file:
#----cut here----
# I2C adapter drivers
modprobe i2c-nforce2
# Chip drivers
modprobe eeprom
modprobe w83627hf
modprobe k8temp
# sleep 2 # optional
/usr/local/bin/sensors -s # recommended
#----cut here----
If you have some drivers built into your kernel, the list above will
contain too many modules. Skip the appropriate ones! You really
should try these commands right now to make sure everything is
working properly. Monitoring programs won't work until the needed
modules are loaded.
Do you want to overwrite /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors? (YES/no): yes
Copy prog/init/lm_sensors.init to /etc/init.d/lm_sensors
for initialization at boot time.
