This is because the device is disabled on your mainboard. The pc87427 driver doesn't forcibly enable disabled devices, because it has never helped so far. > My motherboard - Server Board S5000PSL Is this mainboard somehow advertised as supporting hardware monitoring, thermal management or fan speed control? Please check the technical specification and documentation. You can also check in the BIOS if there is any relevant option. If there are references then we can investigate. You can also try running the latest version of sensors-detect just in case: http://www.lm-sensors.org/svn/lm-sensors/trunk/prog/detect/sensors-detect -- Jean Delvare http://khali.linux-fr.org/wishlist.html
