Synopsis
lm_sensors bug fix and enhancement update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated lm_sensors package that fixes several bugs and adds various
enhancements is now available.
Description
- Lm_sensors needs the kernel module coretemp.ko to sense temperatures of
certain Intel processors including the Core 2 Duo processor family and Core
2 Solo processor family. Although drivers to support the temperature
sensors of these processors are included in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, the
supporting kernel module is not included. This means that while the
"sensors-detect" command will report that the "Intel Core family thermal
sensor" "detects correctly", the "sensors" command will report "No sensors
found!" The drivers for the temperature sensors of these Intel processors
are being removed until a future kernel update includes the coretemp.ko
module (which will also require an update of lm_sensors). With these
drivers removed, "sensors-detect" will no longer falsely appear to detect
the temperature sensors of these processors.
- Newer AMD K8 processors have integrated sensors. Newer versions of
lm_sensors are able to read these sensors, while older versions return a
"General parse error" from the "sensor" command. Lm_sensors has been
rebased from upstream. The new version correctly reports data from the
sensors built into AMD K8 processors, and also adds support for the
following devices:
AMD Geode devices
AMD K10 processors
Andigilog fan controllers
ATI IXP200, IXP300 and IXP 400 SMBus controllers
