That was during vacation, when not that many developers take the time to read the mailing list. Alarms are the last piece that has been ported to the standard sysfs interface (which lm-sensors 3 builds on top of.) See http://www.lm-sensors.org/ticket/2261 for a list of drivers that have been fixed in recent kernels. So basically for proper alarm support with lm-sensors 3.x you need a recent enough kernel. -- Jean Delvare
