Post subject:  mbmon and/or lm-sensors
Hi all,

Ok trying to setup my myth box to send me some alerts on cpu temp...

I have a ASUS P5P800 MB and from various google searches it appears
that my MB has a rare sensor chip = w83627EHF... {winbond}

I see that lm-sensors and mbmon are both installed already in R5A16.

I have tried both mbmon I get this:
#mbmon
No Hardware Monitor found!!
InitMBInfo: Success

and lm-sensors

I get some feedback on some the tuner cards... but, no MB, cpu stuff....

i.e.

sensors
wm8775[50]-i2c-3-1b
Adapter: ivtv i2c driver #2

cx25840[50]-i2c-3-44
Adapter: ivtv i2c driver #2

Philips FQ1236A MK4-i2c-3-61
Adapter: ivtv i2c driver #2

tveeprom[50]-i2c-3-50
Adapter: ivtv i2c driver #2

wm8775[50]-i2c-2-1b
Adapter: ivtv i2c driver #1

cx25840[50]-i2c-2-44
Adapter: ivtv i2c driver #1

Philips FQ1236A MK4-i2c-2-61
Adapter: ivtv i2c driver #1

tveeprom[50]-i2c-2-50
Adapter: ivtv i2c driver #1

saa7115[50]-i2c-1-21
Adapter: ivtv i2c driver #0

MSP3448W-i2c-1-40
Adapter: ivtv i2c driver #0

Philips NTSC -i2c-1-61
Adapter: ivtv i2c driver #0

tveeprom[50]-i2c-1-50
Adapter: ivtv i2c driver #0

Thomson DDT 7610 -i2c-0-61
Adapter: cx88[0]

If I try to run sensors-detect it fails with:
No i2c device files found. Use prog/mkdev/mkdev.sh to create them.

It appears that lm-sensor needs some device files under /dev
I presume...

I read Xsecrets post on mbmon, but I am not sure what to do with
mbmon...

I would like to get either of these working...

Any ideas?

It looks llike mbmon only thinks it's recognizes my new mobo since the readings it generates are bogus... ;-)

Maybe I'll have to try setting up lm_sensors again...[/quote]

well if mbmon isn't working you should have a look at the readme file lookup what chips your mb uses and try the switches I know my old 7nif2 required a switch. it's covered in the wiki page and the symptom on mine was bogus constantly changing data until I got the right switch.

Thanks for the tip. I was reading the manual page, but since it didn't have support for the NForec3 chipset yet, and since as a result it doesn't recognize the SMBus stuff, I was getting bogus answers from the ISA accessed stuff...
Code:
root@black2:/var/log# mbmon

Temp.= 160.0, 240.0, 151.0; Rot.= 11250, 135000, 67500
Vcore = 2.32, 1.50; Volt. = 1.60, 5.03, 10.28, -13.96, -6.07

However this bit from the /usr/share/doc/mbmon/ReadMe put me on the right track..
Code:
root@black2:/var/log# mbmon -d -A
Summary of Detection:
 * ISA monitor(s):
  ** Winbond Chip W83627HF/THF/THF-A found.
  ** Int.Tec.Exp. Chip IT8705F/IT8712F or SIS950 found.

Realizing that there were two possible monitoring devices within the ISA stuff was key. Using "-I" produces results that look FAR saner...
Code:
root@black2:/var/log# mbmon -I

Temp.= 37.0, 38.5,  0.0; Rot.=    0, 1125, 1061
Vcore = 2.30, 1.50; Volt. = 1.60, 5.03, 10.28,   5.74,  4.96
root@black2:/var/log# mbmon -f

Temp.= 96.8, 101.3,  0.0; Rot.=    0, 1125, 1054
Vcore = 2.29, 1.50; Volt. = 1.60, 5.00, 10.34,   5.74,  4.96

The numbers are pretty good considering that inside temprature at the moment is around 84F/29C and the CPU is barely 10C over that...

The link for the Readme on the wiki is for some binary file... It prompts me to download it.

Can you fix that?

unfortunately no that's just the way the wiki works an attached text file acts as a binary and you have to download it.

(Slightly off topic)

I noticed that the mbmon included in R5A16 doesn't have the patch for detection of Asus A7N8X-VM/400. I added info about it on the wiki:

http://www.knoppmythwiki.org/index.php? ... boardHowTo

Fortunately I kept my patched version from when I was running R5A4. Since it's a simple patch I suggest that version should be included in Knoppmyth.

Thanks for a great distribution!

Linuxgeek, if you are still trying to get lm-sensors to work with your asus motherboard, you can find a solution at http://www.knoppmythwiki.org/index.php? ... nsorsHowTo
