Hi Mathieu, Redirected to the lm-sensors list, where it belongs.

What it really means is: no sensors found. Which is true, as sensors-detect found an SMBus master and some EEPROM on that bus, but no sensor chip. (You can read the EEPROM contents with decode-dimms.pl, but that's not what you're after.) So, either sensors-detect missed some chip, and you want to try the latest version of sensors-detect, or your system indeed doesn't have any sensor chip - this is frequent on laptops and vendor desktop machines. -- Jean Delvare
