Topic: updating lm-sensors

[magwm]

Hello SmeWorld,
I would like to update lm-sensors on my production server.

the reason is simple: right now, I have

Code: [Select]

#sensors-v      :      sensors version 2.8.7 with libsensors version 2.8.7installed.

it works, but.. at the first execution of sensors the server starts beeping even if there is no problem..

Code: [Select]

[root@www ~]# sensors
asb100-i2c-0-2d
Adapter: SiS96x SMBus adapter at 0xe600
VCore 1:   +1.58 V  (min =  +0.00 V, max =  +0.00 V)
+3.3V:     +3.36 V  (min =  +3.14 V, max =  +3.47 V)
+5V:       +5.19 V  (min =  +4.76 V, max =  +5.24 V)
+12V:     +11.31 V  (min = +10.82 V, max = +13.19 V)
CPU Fan:  2537 RPM  (min =    0 RPM, div = 4)
MBTemp:      +24°C  (high =   +45°C, hyst =   +40°C)
CPUTempIntel:
             +26°C  (high =   +60°C, hyst =   +50°C)
ERROR: Can't get VID data!
alarms:

the only thing I can do to stop the beeping is to reboot without the modpobe part

Code: [Select]

# I2C adapter drivers
modprobe i2c-sis96x
# I2C chip drivers
modprobe asb100
#modprobe eeprom
 sleep 2 # optional
/usr/bin/sensors -s # recommended
in  /etc/rc.d/rc.local  . but, of course, then the sensors don't work.

the LM-sensors homepage says: http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/Kernel2.6

For recent 2.6 kernels (2.6.9 and later), you need at least lm_sensors 2.8.8

and, moreover,

In kernel 2.6.22, the way the I2C adapters are presented in sysfs changed, and this affects libsensors. You will need lm_sensors version 2.10.3 or later

and more scary things indicating that the version that came with sme is outdated.. especially the asb100 driver which is the one my asus motherboard uses..

What do you think? is it dangerous to download a precompiled package from somewhere like
http://dl.atrpms.net/all/lm_sensors-2.10.6-55.el4.i386.rpm
http://dl.atrpms.net/all/libsensors3-2.10.6-55.el4.i386.rpm

and install them? would it hurt my server's feelings?

would it be pushing my luck to download the 3.0 versions?
(there were some for Fedora, I think..)

Thanks for your insights, ciao!

lm_sensors is not part of SME server base install, so your post is off-topic for this forum.

Moving topic to SME 7.x Contribs as it is more appropriate there.
