Hello Rudolf:
Thank you for the response.
Since my original message I have upgraded the kernel:
43 torus:~> uname -a
Linux torus 2.6.13 #1 Mon Sep 5 16:37:24 ICT 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
There was no change in the output of sensors-detect from the previous
kernel.
I already have the thermal_zone:
ls /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THM0/
cooling_mode polling_frequency state temperature trip_points
Additionally, GKRELLM recognizes and displays the cpu temperature.
However, I tried your suggestion:
45 torus:~> sudo modprobe thermal
FATAL: Module thermal not found.
(So I guess the thermal zone is set up on this machine using a different
module?).
Here are the results after loading the i2c-dev module, (the i2c-sis96x
module was already loaded).
49 torus:~> sudo i2cdump 0 0x6a
No size specified (using byte-data access)
WARNING! This program can confuse your I2C bus, cause data loss and worse!
I will probe file /dev/i2c-0, address 0x6a, mode byte

In reviewing the previous 'sensors-detect' output I noticed that it found
a "sensor" but that it is flagged 'no hardware monitoring capabilites':
....
Probing for `Nat. Semi. PC8739x Super IO'
Success... (no hardware monitoring capabilities)
....
Looking up the PC8739x chip set, it appears the notation is correct, as
I found no mention of hardware monitoring.
Additionally, I wonder if the problem could also be the BIOS ?
BIOS: Phoenix (1.0a), ACPI 1.0b)
->Advanced->Chipset Information:
Bios Rev 1.00.08
CPU Type Mobile Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4
Bios Date 11/29/02
...
There is no 'Hardware Monitor' section in the BIOS.
FWIW: Here is the 'lsmod' output:
