The last one below is closest and as you see I have built it in. | | < > Winbond W83781D, W83782D, W83783S, Asus AS99127F | | | | < > Winbond W83791D | | | | < > Winbond W83792D | | | | < > Winbond W83793 | | | | < > Winbond W83L785TS-S | | | | < > Winbond W83L786NG, W83L786NR | | | | <*> Winbond W83627HF, W83627THF, W83637HF, W83687THF, W83697HF | | | | <*> Winbond W83627EHF/EHG/DHG, W83667HG But as you can see I've built in the last two. After installing that kernel and reboot The tail of: sensors-detect [...] Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done. Just press ENTER to continue: Driver `w83627hf': * ISA bus, address 0x290 Chip `Winbond W83627THF/THG Super IO Sensors' (confidence: 9) Warning: the required module w83627hf is not currently installed on your system. If it is built into the kernel then it's OK. Otherwise, check http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/Devices for driver availability. No modules to load, skipping modules configuration. Unloading i2c-dev... OK And following with: # sensors No sensors found! Make sure you loaded all the kernel drivers you need. Try sensors-detect to find out which these are. ------- --------- ---=--- --------- -------- What motheboard are you running: Here is what `lshw', followed `hwinfo' had to say about my motherboard Or at least I think thats what this output is: from lswh: reader description: Desktop Computer product: MS-6728 vendor: MICRO-STAR INC. version: 2.00 serial: 00000000 width: 32 bits capabilities: smbios-2.3 dmi-2.3 smp-1.4 smp configuration: chassis=desktop cpus=1 *-core description: Motherboard product: MS-6728 vendor: MICRO-STAR INC. physical id: 0 version: 2.00 serial: 00000000 *-firmware description: BIOS vendor: American Megatrends Inc. physical id: 0 version: V3.A (09/29/2004) size: 64KiB capacity: 448KiB capabilities: isa pci pnp apm upgrade shadowing escd cdboot bootselect socketedrom edd int13floppy360 int13floppy1200 int13floppy720 int13floppy2880 int5printscreen int9keyboard int17printer int10video acpi usb agp ls120boot zipboot biosbootspecification ------- --------- ---=--- --------- -------- from hwinfo: 01: None 00.0: 10105 BIOS [Created at bios.190] Unique ID: rdCR.lZF+r4EgHp4 Hardware Class: bios BIOS Keyboard LED Status: Scroll Lock: off Num Lock: on Caps Lock: off Serial Port 0: 0x3f8 Serial Port 1: 0x3e8 Parallel Port 0: 0x378 Base Memory: 639 kB PnP BIOS: @@@0000 MP spec rev 1.4 info: OEM id: "INTEL" Product id: "I865G/GE/PE" 1 CPUs (0 disabled) BIOS32 Service Directory Entry: 0xfdb60 SMBIOS Version: 2.3 BIOS Info: #0 Vendor: "American Megatrends Inc."
