I've been trying to get lm_sensors working on my lovely MSI K7N2 Delta-L NForce2 mainboard since I switched to kernel 2.6.x. When I choose ISA or SMBUS it makes no difference. I tried every version... It never worked... Now I discovered the problem: False chip detection by sensors-detect. I finally got it working (manually) with kernel 2.6.9-rc2 and lm_sensors CVS. Just because I was lucky I tried the right module. sensors-detect (even in latest CVS) makes following module suggestions: i2c-nforce2, i2c-isa, eeprom, w83627hf Only the eeprom reader will be detected then. The correct modules are: i2c-isa, eeprom, w83781d Only these modules make it work. So you don't need i2c-nforce2 (I don't know why on a NForce2-Board...) and w83781d instead of w83627hf. I'm using Fedora Core 2.
