LM_Sensors on Cent OS 5.4: How To Get And Install The Coretemp Module
If you have been following my progress over the last few days you will know that after a complete rebuild of the tools server and a change of the operating system, I have been working hard to get all our temp monitoring back online. The server previously ran Gentoo Linux, which although is still my favorite distro, is just not suited for a production server environment. So we decided to go with Cent OS which is a very well built distro aimed at running on production servers. My only complaint is that its kernel and some of its packages are a little bit out of date. On the bright side, this has given us a few challenges to work through and more importantly some good articles to share. So after getting my GPU temps going and graphing I turned my attention to the cpu. We are currently running a Intel i7 965 Extreme edition which I just put in last night. In the following article I will show how I eventually got lm_sensors and the coretemp module to work on Cent OS 5.4
