Winbond monitoring

[rburke]

Hello all,

I'm not sure if anyone will know the answer, but I hope they will, or at least be able to point me in the right direction. I just setup a 1U rackmount Linux server running a P4 2.4 and 1GB of DDR PC2700. It is using an MSI mobo which has a Winbond W83697HF chip on it. I want to keep track of hte temp of the CPU while the OS is running, instead of it just sitting in BIOS and looking at it there. So, I found that you need to run the command "sensors" and it will detect any sensors on your board and display the configed results (using /etc/sensors.conf). BUT... when I run the command as any user (including root) I get the following error:

[Burke@Apollo winbond]$ sensors -s
Can't access /proc file
/proc/sys/dev/sensors/chips or /proc/bus/i2c unreadable;
Make sure you have done 'modprobe i2c-proc'!

I don't know where I need to add that modprobe command.


I hope someone can help me.

Thanks,
Burke

as root you can just run it from the command line 'modprobe i2c-proc'

if this command works.. you can have it load on boot up by placing the line in your rc.local file


hope this helps
