lm_sensors not able to detect anything

Postby firefoxPL » Fri Jan 13, 2012 5:20 pm

Hi I've just installed a fresh ALARM onto my pogo and since I'm planning to use some cryptographic tasks (mainly openvpn) I was hoping I could monitor the device temperature and both cpu and ram usage over time with sysstat (lm_sensors is a dependency), unfortunately lm_sensors is not able to detect any sensors due to a unsupported kernel version:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
[root@alarm ~]# sensors-detect
Argument ".31.6_SMP_820" isn't numeric in numeric ge (>=) at /usr/sbin/sensors-detect line 2489.
Kernel version is unsupported (too old, >= 2.6.5 needed)
')
Does someone know if I can do something about it, maybe an older lm_sensors binary would work?

That, is a bug in how lm_sensors assumes a version #.

I am not sure that CE implemented that..

Wow that was quick :)
I thought it might be something like that since 2.6.31 to me seems newer than 2.6.5, I will probably try to download the source and maybe comment out kernel version check, then build it.

But since I am in the topic of openvpn (actually the pogo is building some DH parameters in the backgroud) I would like to ask you do you know (duh, who else :)) if there is a support for hardware AES and SHA (-1 or -2) crypto engines built into the oxnas kernel?

CE did not implement any temperature monitoring on their boards. The Iomega HMCE did have a thermistor on board, but it wasn't accessed in the normal way. So, no matter what kernel you use on the oxnas boards, you will not get lm_sensors to work.

Thanks for the heads up, I was kind of hoping that the SoC has some temperature sensor on the die itself.
