Oops :) So lets try other things first: 1) make sure that your kernel has at least "drivers" for the sensors. You can check if you take a look to directory /lib/modules/2.6.3_something/kernel/drivers I guess that directory name will be 2.6.3-7mdk. You will see there adm1021.ko eeprom.ko gl518sm.ko lm75.ko files like this and more. So far so good. For you kernel you need version of Lm_sensors 2.8.5. http://secure.netroedge.com/~lm78/archive/lm_sensors-2.8.5.tar.gz Untar it. (like unzip) and run make user su (type your pass) make user_install Thats all. After that as root again run sensors-detect and follow its questions. At the end you will see the list of modules you need to load. I will be here in evening (GMT+2) but for sure let me know how are you going with this.
