I'm using a T30 and I don't get any useful info out of either lmmon or
mbmon :

gagh# mbmon
No Hardware Monitor found!!
InitMBInfo: Unknown error: 0

gagh# mbmon -d -A
SMBus[Intel8XX(ICH/ICH2/ICH3/ICH4/ICH5)] found, but No HWM available on it!!
Summary of Detection:
 * No monitors found.
InitMBInfo: Unknown error: 0

gagh# lmmon
IOCTL: Device not configured

While there is a SMBus device available:

gagh# ls -la /dev/smb0
crw-------  1 root  wheel  106,   0 Nov  3 10:19 /dev/smb0

gagh# dmesg | grep SMB
ichsmb0: <Intel 82801CA (ICH3) SMBus controller> port 0x1880-0x189f irq 9 at device 31.3 on pci0
smb0: <SMBus generic I/O> on smbus0

This is on an IBM T30 running 5.1-CURRENT as of Oct 23.

Any tips anyone ?

regards,
  Hans

ps. for those interested in monitoring their systems: the recently added
    SMART Disk Monitoring in ports/sysutils/smartmontools works perfectly
    for me. Highly recommended.
