There are tricks (see Rudolf's answer) but keep in mind that sensors-detect was written with humans as a primary target, and in some cases manual tweaking is needed. The actual output of the script is also very helpful when investigating issues. We could implement a non-interactive mode to sensors-detect, which would silently probe for all devices and create the configuration file. It won't work in all cases, of course, but I guess it would be useful in some cases like yours. Is anyone willing to take a try?

I'm also surprised that you would need both w83627hf and lm75 - unless this is an Intel Xeon machine, maybe. What does the output of "sensors" look like (when it works)? Oh, you didn't tell us what version of linux and lm_sensors you were using. > then a /etc/init.d/lm_sensors restart > to modprobe them all.... > No luck finding the sensors. What does the /etc/init.d/lm_sensors script do exactly? Does it come with FC4, or did you install it yourself? > Run sensor-detect then all goes... arghhh what is missing > > Can anyone suggest something? sensors-detect does, in turn: * load i2c-dev; * load all suitable i2c bus drivers; * probe every single chip it knows about (but not load chip drivers). Of these, only the second step can change what "sensors' prints. So my guess would be that /etc/init.d/lm_sensors does not properly load the bus drivers. I don't really understand how this could happen though. Please check with lsmod which modules are loaded before running /etc/init.d/lm_sensors, after running it, and after running sensors-detect. You could also check the system logs, maybe you'll find hints there. -- Jean Delvare
