I've just been reading through the bug database at lm-sensors.nu on a recommendation from a fellow Tyan Tiger MPX owner. I now have healthd installed but am only able to grab the voltages from the hardware, not the CPU temp or fan speeds. This is evidently related to the fact that there are actually two Winbond hardware monitoring chips onboard and the functions are divided between them. According to the linux guys in order to initialize the second monitoring chip on boot you must either go into a BIOS hardware monitoring menu or temporarily boot Windows and launch the included monitoring software. The Tiger MPX BIOS does not currently contain a hardware monitoring menu because the original revision of the board only had a 2MB BIOS ROM. The newer revision I have has a 4MB BIOS ROM on it so I hope that I will be able to obtain a BIOS from Tyan which includes this functionality. I would very much like to verify this theory. I would also like to see if I can figure out a workaround to initialize this chipset without requiring a trip to the BIOS or Windows. Hopefully the Linux lm_sensors folks can help me make sense of it. Brandon D.
