Hardware monitoring

LM sensors

turn on i2c support in your kernel

-device drivers\i2c support -device drivers\hardware monitoring\ ite87 -Asus asb100 - amd athlon temp

install the package - lm-sensors

># sensors-detect -> wil give you a view of the found sensors (say YES to all questions)

 Driver `eeprom' (should be inserted):
 Detects correctly:
 * Bus `SMBus PIIX4 adapter at 0b00'
   Busdriver `i2c-piix4', I2C address 0x50
   Chip `eeprom' (confidence: 6)
 * Bus `SMBus PIIX4 adapter at 0b00'
   Busdriver `i2c-piix4', I2C address 0x51
   Chip `eeprom' (confidence: 6)
 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 `k8temp' (should be inserted):
 Detects correctly:
 * ISA bus, undetermined address (Busdriver `i2c-isa')
   Chip `AMD K8 thermal sensors' (confidence: 9)
 Driver `it87' (should be inserted):
 Detects correctly:
 * ISA bus address 0x0228 (Busdriver `i2c-isa')
   Chip `ITE IT8716F Super IO Sensors' (confidence: 9)

The script will give you the appropiate line to insert in /etc/modules Make shure that the modules are configured in your kernel

The read out of the CPU temp is still an issue. As you can see it gives the wrong values
