Good, exactly the test we needed. According to the dump, alarm flags are set for in0 and fan1, so you should see these in the output of sensors. Just thinking about it now: what kernel version are you running? I assumed you were running something recent (2.6.25 or later) but maybe not? Individual alarm files (which lm-sensors 3 needs) were added to the it87 driver in kernel 2.6.25. If you are running an older kernel then it is expected that the alarms are missing (same as with pc87360 - except that pc87360 is worse because even the latest kernel doesn't have the individual alarm files in that one.) -- Jean Delvare
