I will also look at the bios (i had someone else > look before). I do not doubt there is a 8111 on-board. The output of "lspci" clearly states this. The first question is: why does the smbus part of it doesn't show in lspci? The second is: what hardware monitoring chip do you have, and were is it located? From our point of view, the 8111 is simply a bus. It doesn't provide any sensor value per se. Summary (admitting you do have a sensor chip somewhere): either the chip is on the 8111 and the challenge is to enable the 8111. Either the chip is a Super-I/O or ISA chip, and we need to know what chip it is or we cannot do anything. Good luck ;) -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
