According to the FAQ for i2c/lm_sensors, you wanted feedback if everything worked. I just spent about a half hour getting and compiling and installing the i2c stuff on our linux 2.2.18 box, and all seems to work just great. The sensors program only shows one fan turning, and temp3 at 255 C, so either we have a failed fan or should ignore one temp, but that will wait until we can get to the box (locked behind lots of doors; I am working remotely). The FAQ says you don't know of any software to raise alarms and warn the gendarms when there is a failure. I have great home-grown software called pulsar for just that purpose; I will write a pulsar "pulse monitor" shortly that generates warnings. If you are interested in pulsar, look in ftp://ftp.cs.uky.edu/cs/software/pulsar.tar.gz . Raphael Finkel
