LM_SENSORS QUICK INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
|
|
------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
NOTE: PLEASE SKIM THE INSTALL DOCUMENT, OR BETTER YET READ IT CAREFULLY!
|
|
The instructions in this document will generally work if you have a standard
|
|
system, but not always!!
|
|
|
|
Quickstart for i2c option 1 (modules) and lm_sensors option 1 (modules).
|
|
This is by far the EASIEST METHOD.
|
|
Other methods are described in INSTALL.
|
|
------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
* Verify you are running a 2.4 kernel, 2.4.9 or later.
|
|
If you are running a 2.5/2.6 kernel, the ONLY thing you need to
|
|
do is 'make user' and 'make user_install'. Do NOT follow the rest
|
|
of these instructions.
|
|
|
|
* Do you require additional i2c-related
|
|
2.4 kernel modules (bttv, i2c-matrox, rivatv, zoran...) ???
|
|
See the information in README.
|
|
Do NOT follow the rest of these instructions.
|
|
|
|
* Make sure you have the kernel tree corresponding to your current
|
|
kernel in /lib/modules/(uname -r)/build.
|
|
Even if the source is there, it may not correspond to your running
|
|
kernel. If so, you will have to recompile your kernel.
|
|
|
|
* Verify that your i2c support in the kernel is configured as
|
|
modules or is disabled. If it is compiled-in, you obviously
|
|
cannot replace it with modules in the next step.
|
|
|
|
* Do `lsmod'. If there are any old i2c or sensors modules loaded,
|
|
you MUST remove them (as root) with `rmmod'.
|
|
|
|
* Download, build, and install the latest i2c package,
|
|
(i2c-2.8.1 or later). The i2c subsystem found in the Linux 2.4
|
|
kernel trees, even the latest ones, is outdated and won't work.
|
|
Quickstart for i2c: make; make install; depmod -a
|
|
|
|
* Go back to the lm_sensors directory. Do `make'.
|
|
The warnings about .d files at the start are harmless.
|
|
If you have compile problems, you probably should not have skipped step 3.
|
|
Go back and install the latest i2c package.
|
|
If you still have compile problems, you probably should not
|
|
have skipped the i2c step above.
|
|
|
|
* Do (as root) `make install'.
|
|
|
|
* Do (as root) `depmod -a'.
|
|
|
|
* Verify that /usr/local/lib is listed in /etc/ld.so.conf;
|
|
add it if it isn't.
|
|
|
|
* Do (as root) `ldconfig'.
|
|
|
|
* Run (as root) `prog/mkdev/mkdev.sh' to create the device files,
|
|
unless you already have them or are running devfs.
|
|
|
|
* Run (as root) `prog/detect/sensors-detect' to detect your hardware,
|
|
put the lines it suggests into /etc/modules.conf
|
|
and enter the modprobe lines sensors-detect suggests.
|
|
Add the line `sensors -s' after the modprobe lines.
|
|
|
|
* Reboot, or else type in the modprobe lines and `sensors -s'.
|
|
|
|
* Run `sensors' to see your output.
|
|
|
|
* That's it! If you have problems, read our excellent FAQ
|
|
(doc/FAQ or doc/lm_sensors-FAQ.html).
