Hrm. Do you know for a fact that the vt1211 chip is present inside your computer? I.e. have you inspected your mainboard physically and located it? The line you quote from our website only says we support it. It doesn't claim that you have one. Or maybe I am misreading you? > I know I am not scanning the ISA bus and superio? channel in the above > sensors-detect output, but my kernel does not allow that.

(Will take a while) > If you need some more info to help me diagnose this, let me now. vt1211 is a superio chip. sensors-detect cannot find it unless you allow the superio scan. So to recap, the good: 1) You built lm-sensors userspace OK. 2) You have sysfs mounted OK. ... and the bad: 1) I'm not sure you have a vt1211 in the first place. 2) sensors-detect for sure won't find it unless you allow superio scan. And to top that off, even if you *do* have a vt1211, the driver has not yet been ported to kernel 2.6.x anyway. But if you did run sensors-detect with grsec off and the superio scan didn't find anything, then I doubt you have a vt1211. So let's back up here... * * * * * Are there temp/volt readings in any of your BIOS screens? If not, probably you just plain don't have any supported hardware on your board. But if so... Who makes your mainboard & what is the model? Do the specs mention a specific hardware sensor chip? If possible, please physically examine your mainboard to see if you can find any of the chips from our supported or new drivers lists. On average, they are the size of a thumb nail. It's almost never necessary, but it is the last resort. Thanks. Regards, -- Mark M. Hoffman mhoffman at lightlink.com
