Update coretemp.o for Intel Atom support?

[BaronVonChickenPants]

[SOLVED-more or less]Update coretemp.o for Intel Atom support?

I am running an iso installed version of Proxmox 1.3 dist-upgraded to 1.4 on an Intel Atom 330 rig and would like to add temp sensor support for the cpu, I have collected a few different versions of coretemp.c source code with atom cpu support but can not get them to compile.

I have seen that others have achieved this on ubuntu pc's and debian intel mac's to add support for modern intel cpu's including atoms to 2.6.24 kernels but have not seen anything relative to proxmox.

I have linux-headers-2.6.24-9-pve, build-essential and module-assistant installed, but make fails with various undeclared function's or if I try to compile a 2.6.26 version of coretemp.c it fails tragically with pages of errors.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TIA,
Jordan.

I didn't think an Atom 330 would do virtualization without vmx support!

Have you tried installing the lm_sensors package to see what that picks up?

apt-get install lm-sensors

Your halfway correct, no it will not do kvm virtualization but openvz containers still work a treat, which is fine as all my servers are linux based.

1.6GHz 64bit hyper threaded dual core that uses just 8 watts, perfect for low-mid demands.

lmsensors is installed, sensors-detect needed to be updated to detect the atom but the coretemp module built for 2.6.24 does not support the latest intel cpu's.

proxmox:~# modprobe coretemp
FATAL: Error inserting coretemp (/lib/modules/2.6.24-9-pve/kernel/drivers/hwmon/coretemp.ko): No such device

I have seen that it is possible to add support, it is "simply a matter of compiling a new coretemp module" which has so far not been that simple, must be something obvious I'm missing.

Odd, I have a CentOS machine on an Atom 330 and sensors works fine, here is the output, perhaps it may help

Well would you look at that, from looking at the apt logs it looks like libsensors3 was updated during the install of apcupsd on saturday and now sensorsd tells me everything I need to know via the i2c interface, never would have guessed that one.

Thanks for your output Ernie, it put me on the right track to poke around and investigate further.

Just needed to perform: sensors-detect, then restart sensorsd.

Thanks for your help.
