coretemp.ko where is it?

Hello,
I’ve been looking everywhere for this kernel module to graph my cpu
temperature etc. But seems like it is not present in
kernel-pae-2.6.32.46-0.3.1. I’ve been searching the internet and
opensuse.org to no avail. The config file uner /boot says it’s been
compiled as a module but whereabouts is unknown. Does anybody have an
insight?

Thanks

Hi
What about the output from the command;

acpi -V

GPU GeForce 8600 GTS Silent - Driver Version: 290.10

Thanks for the tip. But I don’t think acpi command produces a meaningful
output:

Code:

Thermal 1: ok, 8.0 degrees C


It is impossible for the server/cpu to be 8 degrees. In fact sensors
command produces this output (SLES people decided to add the sensor
module for this hardware bit but not the cpu), and without coretemp.ko I
can’t get the CPU temperature measurement. I’d like to get these values
with snmp and produce nice graphs with cacti.

Code:

Adapter: ISA adapter
Ch. 0 DIMM 0: +50.5°C (low = +127.5°C, high = +127.5°C)
Ch. 1 DIMM 0: +52.0°C (low = +127.5°C, high = +127.5°C)
Ch. 2 DIMM 0: +50.5°C (low = +127.5°C, high = +127.5°C)
Ch. 3 DIMM 0: +46.5°C (low = +127.5°C, high = +127.5°C)


50 degrees does look more real. Anyway it would be great if the kernel
maintainers put all the extra modules in another rpm, so that we could
download and use. Of course, I could easily compile my own kernel with
the config-2.6.32.46-0.3-pae file but I’d rather novell supplies a
generic solution to a trivial problem.

Hi
Those are the memory temperatures, what hardware/cpu?

So you have run sensors-detect?

That’s the whole point. Without the coretemp.ko module you can’t have
the CPU temperatures, and this is not in the kernel package!

Hi
I’ve asked my Novell contacts to see what the underlying reason is,
however I did ask for the hardware/ cpu info, can you provide this?

Of course, this is a HP proliant DL380 G5 server with two quad core Xeon
CPUs. I did run sensors-detect and try to install coretemp.ko and
ipmisensors.ko to no avail. It succeeded installing i5k_amb and ipmi-si
modules. In fact the DIMM temperatures coming from the i5k_amb module.
Thanks,

Hi
Try ipmi_devintf instead of ipmisensors.
