Do you have any idea? The lm85 driver should provide hardware monitoring data. If it doesn't, it means that the chip detection failed. If sensors-detect found an SMSC chip it's a known bug, fixed by now but maybe you don't want to upgrade kernels. Solution: modprobe i2c-dev i2cdetect 0 A chip will show at address 0x2c, 0x2d or 0x2e. Note the address. Then, when loading the lm85 driver, add a force parameter: modprobe lm85 force=0,0x2c # replace with the real address if different That should do it. If it works you can add the following line in /etc/modprobe.conf: option lm85 force=0,0x2c So that the trick will still be active after reboot. Hope that helps, -- Jean Delvare
