> the motherboard manufacturer says it has the chip and sensors-detect says > it has 9 confidence on w83627hf (it should be w83627(T)hf).. w83627hf is both the name of a chip and the name of the driver which handles that chip and 3 other ones (including the w83627thf). That might have confused you. OTOH, if sensors-detect really told you that you had a W83627HF then that's what you have (it cannot be misdetected). > my dmesg and /var/log/messages don't show anymore details after that > error.. i use syslog-ng.. doesn't seem to report much into > /var/log/messages.. :( > (what is a better logger?) Loggers behave the way they are told to, and another logger wouldn't tell you more (IMHO). I am really surprised that there is no message in the logs. Try enabling debug mode and recompile, maybe? -- Jean Delvare
