The I2C chip was not properly detected in the first place. > but there is simlink to device in /sys/class/i2c-dev/i2c-0 This means that the bus driver (i2c-piix4) works.

Which version of lm_sensors are you using? Which motherboard is this? Any message in the logs when loading the w83781d driver? Pleas provide the output of: i2cdump 0 0x2d b Thanks, -- Jean Delvare
