Post subject:  R5D1 - M2NPV-VM LMsensors/Mbmon and memory question...
Just was wondering if anyone hase been able to get LM sensors or mbmon to work with this motherboard and R5D1 and what was done to accomplish? The main thing I am after is cpu temp.

Now the memory question and I'm sure not many have played with this I have 4gb of memory (yeah I know, why 4Gb but I use this as a server box running vmware, more memory more machines I can play with :) ) and I can't seem to get the system to see all 4G, I know about 32 vs 64, but the asus bios has a memory hole setting that is supposed to free up the memory, the bios sees all 4G but when booted I can't see all 4g. I've even tried some command line arguments for the kernel like mem=4G, but no go. If any of the developers have any idea's I would be apreciate it...


thanks.....

I just tested with
Code:
mbmon -f
and received the following:
Quote:
Temp.= 84.2, 77.0, 69.8; Rot.= 3054, 3054, 0
Vcore = 1.34, 3.15; Volt. = 0.00, 4.78, 11.00, -0.00, -0.00
I didn't do anything to "enable" mbmon (that I am aware of). I'm running R5D1 + 0.20 on the M2NVP-VM.

How much memory do you see? I wonder if your kernel's high memory support has been disabled - What does
Code:
grep -i config_highmem /usr/src/linux/.config
give you?

OK, mbmon appears to work, fan spped looks incorrect and I need to look at the temps, I could have sworn I tried this...thanks


I have also figured out what I need to do to achieve the 4 full gigs....here is the output from above...

root@f3hdemon:# grep -i config_highmem /usr/src/linux/.config
CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G=y
# CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G is not set
CONFIG_HIGHMEM=y

I need to enable the CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G option and re-compile, the problem is I not sure the easiest way to do this with knoppmyth and pointers would be welcome.....Thanks.


Well I think I found a post that might help me accomplish this... http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic. ... =recompile


I'm compiling as I write this...we will see what happens.
