CHAPTER 2 - Installation Note
Fedora Core 5 (DVD)
In this section, I assume that you are familiar with Linux. For more information
about
Fedora
Linux
Installation,
please
visit
http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/fedora-install-guide-en/fc4/index.html.
Please select Server installation type during the installation Please refer to Table 2
for more information. You may also select individual software packages during
installation, or install them later.
Please refer to Table 3 and 4 for hard drive partition.
For the Security Configuration, we need to alter these setting so other computer can access the
system. By default the firewall is enabled, with a simple set of rules that allow connections to
be made from your system to others, but block incoming connections from other systems. At
this moment we need to select “No firewall” and disable SELinux (Security Enhanced
Linux).
COMMAND FOR MOUNTING/UNMOUNT DVD
The instruction for mount and unmount commands is as follows:
1.
Create DVD folder in /media directory
# mkdir /media/dvd
2.
Mount DVD
# mount /dev/hdb /media/dvd
3.
Unmount DVD
# umount /media/dvd
3
Java Runtime Environment (JRE)
Fedora Core 5 DVD doesn’t contain Java JRE rpm file, therefore, please follow
our instruction to download and install this package.
Download
For more information about Java JRE installation manual, please refer to Sun Java Official
web site(web site: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/jre/install-linux.html ).
1.
To
install
Sun
Java,
please
open
Firefox,
go
to
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp, click on “Download” Java
Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 Update 10, click the radio button to accept
the license agreement.
2.
Under "Linux Platform - J2SE(TM) Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 10"
click on "Linux self-extracting file", to download jre-1_5_0_10-linux-i586.bin
(save to disk). This should save the file to your home folder.
Install the Linux RPM (self-extracting) file
1.
Open a terminal. Type:
# su -
2.
Type your root password.
3.
Change directory to the location where you would like the files to be installed.
Type:
# cd <Install Directory>
For example, to install the software in the /usr/java/ directory, Type:
# mkdir /usr/java -p
4
# cd /usr/java
Note about root access: To install the JRE in a system-wide location such as/usr/local, you must
login as the root user to gain the necessary permissions. If you do not have root access, install the
JRE in your home directory or a subdirectory for which you have write permissions.
4.
Change the permission of the file you downloaded to be executable. Type:
# cp /media/dvd/ jre-1_5_0_06-linux-i586-rpm.bin /usr/java
# chmod a+x jre-1_5_0_06-linux-i586-rpm.bin
5.
Start the installation process. Type:
./ jre-1_5_0_06-linux-i586-rpm.bin
The script displays a binary license agreement, which you are asked to agree to before installation
can proceed. Once you have agreed to the license, the install script creates and runs the file
jre-1_5_0_06-linux-i586.rpm in the current directory.
6.
The installation file creates jre-1_5_0-linux-i586.rpm file in the current
directory.
5
7.
Run the RPM command at the terminal to install the packages. Type:
rpm -iv jre-1_5_0-linux-i586.rpm
8.
The JRE is installed in jre1.5.(version number) sub-directory under the
current directory. In this case, the JRE is installed in the /usr/java/jre1.5.0
directory. Verify that the jre1.5.0 sub-directory is listed under the current
directory. Type:
# ls
9.
The installation is now complete. Go to the Enable and Configure section.
Enable And Configure（Firefox 1.5 and Later）
1.
Go to the plugins sub-directory under the Firefox installation directory
# cd /usr/lib/firefox-1.5.0.1/plugins
2.
In the current directory, create
ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so file Type:
a
symbolic
link
to
the
JRE
# ln -s /usr/java/jre1.5.0_06/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
3.
Start Firefox browser or restart it if it is already running. Note that if you have
other Firefox components (ie: Messenger, Composer, etc) running, you will
need to restart them as well.
4.
Go to Edit > Preferences. Under Content category > Select Enable Java.
Hardware Sensor
The lm_sensor project provides the best and most complete hardware health monitoring drivers
for Linux. User can use this package to monitor voltages, temperatures, fan speeds, etc. For
more
information,
you
can
visit
lm-sensors
web
site(Ref:
http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/ProjectInformation ).
6
Install the lm_sensor RPM（Fedora Core 5 DVD）
1.
Open a terminal. Type：
# su
2.
Enter the root password.
3.
Change to the DVD directory. Type:
# cd
4.
/media/dvd/Fedora/RPMS
Start installation process. Type:
# rpm -ivh lm_sensors-2.9.2-1.i386.rpm
Scanning Hardware Monitor Chip
lm_sensors is a set of Linux kernel modules for monitoring the vital signs of a
computer: the voltages from the power supply, the temperature of the system and
the CPU and fan speeds. lm_sensors includes a command-line utility for checking
the current readings.
1. Detect hardware monitoring chips. Type:
[root@linux ~]# sensors-detect
It is generally safe and recommended to accept the default answers to all
questions, unless you know what you're doing.
We can start with probing for (PCI) I2C or SMBus adapters.
You do not need any special privileges for this.
Do you want to probe now? (YES/no): YES
Probing for PCI bus adapters...
Use driver `i2c-i801” for device 00:1F.3: Intel 82801FB 1CH6
Probe succesfully concluded.
2. Press ENTER button, it will automatic detect chipset.
7
I will now generate the commands needed to load the I2C modules.
Sometimes, a chip is available both through the ISA bus and an I2C bus.
ISA bus access is faster, but you need to load an additional driver module
for it. If you have the choice, do you want to use the ISA bus or the
I2C/SMBus (ISA/smbus)? ISA
To make the sensors modules behave correctly, add these lines to
/etc/modprobe.conf:
#----cut here---# I2C module options
alias char-major-89 i2c-dev
#----cut here----
To load everything that is needed, add this to some /etc/rc* file:
#----cut here---# I2C adapter drivers
modprobe i2c-i801
modprobe i2c-isa
# I2C chip drivers
modprobe eeprom
modprobe it87
# sleep 2 # optional
/usr/bin/sensors -s # recommended
#----cut here----
3. In the second step, it tells you which modules have to be loaded to support
whichever motherboard you are using.
Do you want to generate /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors? (YES/no): YES
8
Copy prog/init/lm_sensors.init to /etc/rc.d/init.d/lm_sensors
for initialization at boot time.
4. Confirm the result. Type:
[root@linux ~]# lspci
00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FR (ICH6/ICH6R) LPC Interface Bridge (rev 03)
…
….
…
5. Check is any Intel ICH6 chip in the list.
6. Modify modprobe.conf file.
[root@linux ~]# vi /etc/modprobe.conf
# I2C module options
alias char-major-89 i2c-dev
7. Modify rc.local file.
[root@linux ~]# vi /etc/rc.d/rc.local
# I2C adapter drivers
modprobe i2c-i801
modprobe i2c-isa
# I2C chip drivers
modprobe eeprom
modprobe it87
# sleep 2 # optional
/usr/bin/sensors -s # recommended
9
Configure LM_SENSOR.CONF
1. Modify sensor.conf file.
[root@linux ~]# vi /etc/sensor.conf
2. Search “it87” keyword. (Pressed ESC button > Pressed button > Type it87). The in5,
in6, in7, and in8 are not used, so please set them to ignore.
chip "it87-*" "it8712-*"
# The values below have been tested on Asus CUSI, CUM motherboards.
# Voltage monitors as advised in the It8705 data sheet
label in0 "VCore 1"

ignore in5
label in5 "-12V"
ignore in6
label in6 "-5V"

3. About 15 more lines down, formula for modifying volts.
# If 3.3V reads 2X too high (Soyo Dragon and Asus A7V8X-X, for example),
# comment out following line.
#
compute in2 2*@ , @/2
compute in2 @ , @
4. Change sensor type. Set sensor three to thermal diode. Sensor one and two are not
used, so please set them to ignore.
# Temperature
#
# Important - if your temperature readings are completely whacky
# you probably need to change the sensor type.
# Adujst and uncomment the appropriate lines below.
# The old method (modprobe it87 temp_type=0xXX) is no longer supported.
#

# 2 = thermistor; 3 = thermal diode; 0 = unused
# set sensor1 3
# set sensor2 3
# set sensor3 3
ignore sensor1
ignore sensor2
set sensor3 3
5. The temperature of the sensor two is not used, so please set it to ignore.
# If a given sensor isn't used, you will probably want to ignore it
# (see ignore statement right below).
label temp1
"M/B Temp"
set temp1_over 40
set temp1_low 15
