Thanks a lot, the module seems to work fine. I used the newest sensors-detect
and it found out the modules I have to use. However, the output of sensors
is quite short:
jba at lisa:~$ sensors
k8temp-pci-00c3
Adapter: PCI adapter
Core0 Temp:
-1?C
Core0 Temp:
+1?C
Core1 Temp:
+6?C
Core1 Temp:
+6?C
dme1737-i2c-0-2e
Adapter: SMBus nForce2 adapter at 4c00
k8temp values are wrong, but that is another problem. But why doent
dme1737 display anything? Is it because of the older lm-sensors version in
debian (2.10.1-3). Or will it be sufficiant to update the config file?
If possible I would like to keep the etch version of lm-sensors.
