for ubuntu and also related to HP proliant machines (and the fans?)
Seems that this is a warning related with content of /etc/sensors.conf but I found on OpenSUSE only a file /etc/sensors3.conf that I cannot understand.
Hi
A newer kernel is now available on Tumbleweed, I have: 3.13.2-13.g97cc2ff-desktop. You could try that.
I don’t have insight into your particular problem, but I can confirm that openSUSE is providing the default lm-sensors configuration at /etc/sensors3.conf, for those sensors chips (hardware monitoring devices) that are known to operate in a standard way across different motherboards. It may not include a config for your device, or your device may not be currently supported in the lm-sensors libraries. You should have rpm package “libsensors4” installed. You can also install the rpm package “sensors”, and run it in a terminal to report on the sensors e.g. core and system temperatures, voltages. Mine reports this:
You should be able to run “sensors-detect” in a terminal, to find out what hardware sensor devices are installed. You can normally and safely reply “yes” to the questions it asks.
Driver `to-be-written':
* ISA bus, address 0xca2
Chip `IPMI BMC KCS' (confidence: 8)
Driver `coretemp':
* Chip `Intel digital thermal sensor' (confidence: 9)
Note: there is no driver for IPMI BMC KCS yet.
Check http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/Devices for updates.
So I suppose that the error is coming form ISA bus chip IPMI BMC KCS where there is no driver available; I’ll read in depth your different links and see if I can find a driver or if I can disable the ISA bus
