===========
|
|
If the 'sensors' program does not report useful values for certain hardware
|
|
monitoring inputs, the problem in most cases is not in lm_sensors. lm_sensors
|
|
only reads values exported by the Linux kernel. Finding the driver responsible
|
|
for exporting the particular hardware monitoring chip may help to diagnose
|
|
the problem further. It is possible that there is a bug in the driver, however
|
|
it is even more likely that the input is simply not used on your board.
|
|
Nonetheless, identifying the driver may help you identify the piece of hardware
|
|
that reports the bogus value.
|
|
|
|
This script finds the driver and kernel module responsible for exporting
|
|
a hardware monitoring chip in sysfs. It should be given the chip name (as
|
|
reported by the 'sensors' program) as argument. For example:
|
|
|
|
$ sensors
|
|
thinkpad-isa-0000
|
|
Adapter: ISA adapter
|
|
fan1: 0 RPM
|
|
|
|
$ ./find-driver thinkpad-isa-0000
|
|
Driver: thinkpad_hwmon
|
|
Module: thinkpad_acpi
