More likely the it87 driver is behaving just fine but kernel 2.6.26 finds one more hwmon device on your system (most likely an ACPI thermal zone) and this shifts the hwmon class devices by one, i.e. your it87 device is now hwmon2 instead of hwmon1. Just check under /sys/class/hwmon. You can read the "name" attributes under each class device's parent directory to find out who is who: grep . /sys/class/hwmon/*/device/name /sys/class/hwmon/*/name 2>/dev/null So most probably you can fix fancontrol by simply replacing all occurrences of hwmon1 by hwmon2 in /etc/fancontrol. This is where it would help if we could reference hwmon drivers by name rather than by class device number, but we don't have support for this yet. > Thank you very much for your kind and prompt reply!
