My output: fileserver:/usr/src/c7temp# sensors c7temp-isa-0000 Adapter: ISA adapter in1: +1.00 V c7temp: +63.0°C It's a pretty hot day here, 35.5ºC outside, and I have no A/C on my server today :-( For those (like me) unlucky ones getting 0.0C from Juerg’s driver (linked in the article above), Justin Chudgar combined it with another driver developed by Harald Welte which can get the right temperature.

It’s a pretty hot day here, 35.5ºC outside, and I have no A/C on my server today :-(

Ok thanks for your quick reply :)

I suppose it is not used/connected on my system. About the labels: I just made them up. ;) I had to fill in something to make it look ok. :) I suspect the CPU label to be ok. The SIO and M/B temps are probably not ok. I suspect temp3 to be the northbridge/southbridge. The quickest way to find is by running watch sensors I guess and heating/cooling some parts of the motherboard more than others. As I was only interested in the CPU temperature I left it like that.

I'd like to ask you some questions though, first: Why did you choose to ignore the temp1 of c7temp? And second: Based on what information did you set the label names? I own a Via Epia CN13000EG and the output is a bit different for me, so if you can point me to a place where you got the info from, I would greatly appreciate that :) Thanks a bunch for this guide, I was really interested in getting the c7temp module to work, but couldn’t be bothered to get a complete kernel source and patch it – I would never have expected that it can be compiled seperately just like that, but it worked!

Try to run: "depmod -a" to generate modules.dep and map files. If that still fails: I just placed the file in the driver dir. Although you are right about the hwmon directory, you should be able to put it there. You might try an insmod with the .ko file to see if it will load at all. If this fails you could try to view the log files to see what is going wrong. Dmesg might give you an idea. Thank you for your comments. I fixed the blog entry accordingly.

Running sid I think c7temp.ko should go in kernel/drivers/hwmon, though I may well be wrong. Where ever I put it modprobe will not see it... Any ideas or pointers? Hi,
