Using a current FC2 update kernel, I get this when I run sensors 2.8.6-1 (either shipped with FC2 or obtained as part of an update): [root@firestorm i2c]# sensors as99127f-i2c-0-2d Adapter: SMBus Via Pro adapter at e800 VCore 1: +1.68 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +0.00 V) ALARM (beep) VCore 2: +2.58 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +0.00 V) ALARM (beep) +3.3V: +3.41 V (min = +3.14 V, max = +3.46 V) (beep) +5V: +5.08 V (min = +4.73 V, max = +5.24 V) (beep) +12V: +12.28 V (min = +10.82 V, max = +13.19 V) (beep) -12V: -12.46 V (min = -13.22 V, max = -10.74 V) (beep) -5V: -4.98 V (min = -5.25 V, max = -4.74 V) (beep) fan1: 3629 RPM (min = 0 RPM, div = 4) (beep) fan2: 0 RPM (min = 0 RPM, div = 4) (beep) fan3: 0 RPM (min = 0 RPM, div = 4) (beep) M/B Temp: +27°C (high = +105°C, hyst = +0°C) (beep) CPU Temp: +25.0°C (high = +100°C, hyst = +92°C) (beep) temp3: -31.5°C (high = +122°C, hyst = +121°C) (beep) ERROR: Can't get VID data! alarms: beep_enable: Sound alarm enabled [root@firestorm i2c]# Notice how the VCORE voltages are zero, this is because the VID data could not be obtained by sensors - as stated lower down in the output. To fix the problem, a newer version of lm_sensors is required, the version straight out of FC4 -devel (2.88-4) is fine and installed with no dependency problems. After installing this, sensors now works correct. This was due to a kernel interface change which means that newer kernels require newer lm_sensors packages. Note from http://www2.lm-sensors.nu/~lm78/kernel26.html: ============== Recommended kernel and lm_sensors combinations: * Kernels 2.6.9-rc1 and later: lm_sensors 2.8.8 or any later version * Kernels 2.6.5-rc1 to 2.6.8: lm_sensors 2.8.6 or any later version * Kernels 2.6.3-rc2 to 2.6.4: lm_sensors 2.8.5 =============== In other words, an updated version of lm_sensors needs to be pushed to updates to resolve this incompatibility. If the version supported with FC3 is too old, then perhaps an update should also be pushed out there too.
Fedora Core 2 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC3 updates or in the FC4 test release, reopen and change the version to match.
A little disappointed that this wasn't fixed in time as it simply required a re-tag of the FC3 SRPM (no patching required). However as FC2 is now obsolete and the box which I found the bug with has been upgraded to FC3, I'll close this right now as WONTFIX.
