Please try again with the version of sensors-detect which comes with the freshly released lm_sensors 2.10.1. I think I've seen this motherboard before, so I guess it'll find a National Semiconductor LM93 for the temperatures and voltages, and a National Semiconductor PC87427 Super-I/O chip for the fans. Status for these chips is as follows: * A driver for the LM93 chip exists but wasn't officially ported to Linux 2.6. There was a preliminary port posted to this list at the times of ~ 2.6.10, but it was never properly reviewed due to lack of time. * We have a datasheet for the PC87427 but no public driver yet. I've been working on the fan support though, I have a preliminary driver waiting for testers. > BTW, what Power supply do you recommend if I've got a 2U chassis with 4 > Fans, 4 SATA II drives, an SATA Backplane, Dual Xeon 3.6 GHz, 4 GB RAM, > eRIC remote console card, a double layer DVD writer and 3ware > 9550SXU-4LP. Is a 510W power supply from Emacs P2G-6510P sufficient? No idea, sorry. The motherboard maker should tell you. -- Jean Delvare
