The board does=20 come with an integrated monitoring subsystem (BMC) which is supposed to=20 have IPMI management capabilities. Doug White's IPMI tools (http://people.freebsd.org/~dwhite/ipmi/) for=20 FreeBSD could be an option, but the board is not listed as tested and I was= =20 unable to get any readings from the board. I have tried both KCS and SMIC=20 drivers and it appears that the board has a KCS interface as kcs.c reports= =20 "Current KCS state: 0x0 (0x0) : IDLE_STATE". According to the readme a=20 status of 0xff indicates not supported so a result of 0x0 looks like it is= =20 supported. ipmicmd.py -k -c reports "******* Error getting chunk at len 21 (0x0)" Has anybody tried this on a L440GX+ board? I have also tried to read sensor information directly from the SMB bus.=20 /usr/ports/sysutils/consolehm can read senor information from the PIIX4 SMB= =20 bus, but that does not deliver valid data: chm -I Using ISA Method. ---------------------------------------- Motherboard Temperature: 255 =B0 C CPU_0 Temperature: 0 =B0 C CPU_1 Temperature: 0 =B0 C VCore: 3.98438 V Vit: 3.98438 V Vio: 3.98438 V +5V: 6.65391 V +12V: 15.9375 V -12V: -15.9375 V -5V: -6.65391 V Fan 1: Not Available Fan 2: Not Available Fan 3: Not Available If I try the chm -S method (with SMBUS support compiled into the kernel) I= =20 get a "Device not configured" error message. Has anyone been able to get monitoring readings from this board? Any=20 suggestions? Thanks, Holger
