Hi, I have installed lm-sensors v2.10.1-3 on a Dell PowerEdge 830 with Debian Etch (stable) installed on it. (This version is the version of lm-sensors that is part of Debian Etch.) sensors-detect works and detects the i801 chipset: <snip> Next adapter: SMBus I801 adapter at 08c0 Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively): Client found at address 0x08 Client found at address 0x2e Handled by driver `lm85' (already loaded), chip type `lm85' Client found at address 0x44 Probing for `Maxim MAX6633/MAX6634/MAX6635'...

So something is not working :( I've found a lm-sensors ticket #2182 logged in February this year, (http://www.lm-sensors.org/ticket/2182) which appears to be the same problem and there hasn't been an update to this ticket. I posted to the Debian users list and was told that I might have more success here :) I've checked the FAQ and can't find anything in particular relating to lm85 or to Dell hosts - am I missing something? If anyone has any suggestions, hints or tips I would love to hear from you! Thanks, Greg
