I'll try to debug but any hint's appreciated! :-) Verify that you have a directory in /sys/class/hwmon/ (probably it is /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/). You can actually view the plain-text data read from your chip in /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/device/. Assuming that's all working, sensors just needs you to edit /etc/sensors.conf and set up the motherboard-specific parameters, such as what fans are really present, what the voltage measurements mean, etc. Your BIOS setup should be useful in getting those numbers right. Good luck!
