Thanks for the quick response. As far as I know, max1617 was suggested by sensors-detect (or something else suggested it -- I didn't type it in myself). Unfortunately, "sudo modprobe coretemp" yields "FATAL: Error inserting coretemp (/lib/modules/2.6.32-27-generic/kernel/drivers/hwmon/coretemp.ko): No such device" Is the coretemp module supposed to be part of lm-sensors? What's the easiest way of getting it? "uname -r" yields "2.6.32-27-generic" and "lsb_release -a" yields "No LSB modules are available.
