lm_sensors detects nothing!

[ajaygautam]

I am trying to install lm_sensors in hope of monitoring my CPU temp.

I emerged lm_sensors-2.6.5. Ran sensors-detect and found nothing !:

=================
WARNING! If you have some things built into your kernel, the below list will contain too many modules. Skip the appropriate ones! To load everything that is needed, add this to some /etc/rc* file:

#----cut here----
# I2C adapter drivers
# I2C chip drivers
#----cut here----

To make the sensors modules behave correctly, add these lines to either
/etc/modules.conf or /etc/conf.modules:

#----cut here----
# I2C module options
alias char-major-89 i2c-dev
#----cut here----
=================

I am using Asus A7N8X deluze motherboard with Athlon 2600+. Was anyone else able to configure lm_sensors ?

Any help / info to get this working will be really appreciated.

Thanks

Hello,

AFAIK, there is no support for the nforce chipset in the current lm_sensors version, however, they are working on it in the cvs version, although there have been some problems.

YMMV
