Subject: Re: [lm-sensors] Tachometer speed returned rather than absolute fan speed?
> The reason is (most likely) that your fan input does not have a pull-up resistor. Per datasheet, the fan inputs need a 10kOhm pull-up resistor. I confirmed this with my test board - with the pull-up resistor, inputs read 0, Without pull-up, the reported value is 1, which translates to 30 RPM. You might also need the 10 uF capacitor on the FB pin.
We have both of them in place as per requirement for the chip as far
as I understand the datasheet. The circuit would not work properly
without it.

We have it both on fan1 and fan4.
If I use our scope for checking the tachometer, I see level zero on
the scope, but 1 when checking the open collector level, since that is
the purpose of the pull-up resistor.
I am currently clueless. Fwiw, I am now using linux kernel 3.2.1 for
the moment. I cannot see any bugfixes in the log with regards to that,
though. I am still not sure what is going on, so I cannot claim that
it is a bug, nor can I exclude it. Any help would be appreciated.
