Why is it not working?. What have you tried? All I did was, as root:

sensors-detect

That performed a lot of tests and at the end, it showed the sensors available in my system. Get that list, copy and paste at the end of your /etc/modules to get them working when booting the system. You could also try to manually load the modules to check if they are working before adding the suggested lines to your /etc/modules. For example, sensors-detect give me the following list of available sensors:

Code:

# I2C adapter drivers
i2c-viapro
i2c-isa
# I2C chip drivers
eeprom
w83627hf

I could either copy that to my /etc/modules or load manually with:

modprobe i2c-viapro
modprobe i2c-isa
...

Good luck!

Hello again
I got it to work by adding some modules on the kernel, but now when I try to run sensors-detect it automatically tells me no i2c device files found.
Anyway it seems to be working for the mohertboard temperature and cpu fan speed, but I believe the cpu temp is too low, it says 30 degrees when doing nothing and 36 when compiling something which is a normal variation, but when I get into the bios it stays at 36, should I put that as the base temperature on gkrellm??
Thanks!!
