Based on a report and an original patch from Jaromir Capik:
There's no vendor_id entry in the /proc/cpuinfo file in case of PPC64
systems and consequently the script returns 3 screens full of the
following errors:
Use of uninitialized value in string eq at /usr/sbin/sensors-detect
line 6444
Use of uninitialized value in string eq at /usr/sbin/sensors-detect
line 6459
Use of uninitialized value in string eq at /usr/sbin/sensors-detect
line 6473
sensors_get_adapter_name(). Paul Crawford asked questions about these
as he found the original documentation unclear. I'm including my
answers to his questions here, reformatted, so that other developers
can benefit from them too.
It is better to use option --auto for non-interactive runs of the
sensors-detect script than faking an input to get the default answers
to all questions.
NCT6683D is found on recent Intel mainboards (eg DH87MC, DH87RL).
NCT6681D is mentioned on the Nuvoton web site. NCT6682D is similar
to NCT6681D with added support for current monitoring.
/sys/module doesn't actually contain all built-in modules, only the
ones which have a version or at least one parameter. Better use file
modules.builtin which is generated since kernel 2.6.33, it is complete
and this will let us handle built-in modules properly.
Reported by Marc Ferland. Make DEVPATH and DEVNAME mandatory only when
using relative paths. Optionally support DEVNAME check when using
absolute paths.
Detection of the Dallas/Maxim DS1621, DS1625 and DS1631 chips is weak
and likely to result in false positive. There's no rationale for
keeping it in sensors-detect as these chips are not found in desktop
computer systems. So drop detection of these chips altogether.
When a given PWM output controls more than one fan,
fanactive_min is no longer a space-separated list of numbers, it will
also include items of the form "A+B". The tests in the rest of the
code do not expect that and choke with errors like:
/usr/sbin/pwmconfig: line 926: [: 538+799: integer expression expected
/usr/sbin/pwmconfig: line 952: [: 538+799: integer expression expected
As the only thing we really care about is whether any fan stops
completely when PWM is 0, we can simply record the minimum of the
lowest speed of all affected fans.
Detection threshold of 2/3 of the maximum speed is too low, some fans
will slow down to about that speed so controlled fans may be missed.
Use 3/4 as the threshold to avoid these false negatives.
Print the initial PWM values before letting the user change them. This
should be useful to better understand what happens next, and for user
support in general.
So we can not use the chip revision to detect the actual chip.
Merge entries for NCT5577D and NCT6776F into one.
List NCT5572D as another variant of W83677HG-I (NCT6775).
NCT6106D chip ID as observed on a real system is 0xC452, not 0x1061 as
claimed by the data sheet. Confirmed with Nuvoton that the correct
chip ID is 0xC452. Also list its variants NCT6102D and NCT6104D.
List NCT5532D as variant of NCT6779D. Data sheets list possible chip
IDs of 0xC561 and 0xC562, so detect and accept all chip revisions.
Point to new nct6775 driver for NCT6775, NCT6776, and NCT6779.
Patch from Jaromir Capik.
The device file /dev/port might be missing in some cases
and the sensors detection is terminated when the user
tries to detect sensors dependent on it's existence.
That's not correct -> it's not a reason for terminating
the detection.
/proc/modules so we will try to load it, even though it's already
available. It will succeed, however later attempts to remove the
driver will fail and such failures are reported at the end of the
script, which can be confusing.
So, use /sys/module instead of /proc/modules where available, as
built-in drivers are listed there too so we no longer attempt to load
already available drivers. As a consequence we also no longer attempt
to remove the drivers in question, thus clearing the error message.

Take multiplexers into account when looking up the parent device of
each I2C adapter. We don't bother with old kernels as they didn't have
support for multiplexers anyway.

Don't probe I2C buses on graphics cards by default. Their drivers will
typically instantiate the I2C slave devices themselves as needed, and
such probes have been occasionally reported to cause serious trouble.

On recent systems, extra configuration files can live in
/etc/ld.so.conf.d, so check this directory too, before warning.
