Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to quite like my system, The RPM installed fine, but "sensors" only shows coretemp, not the chip. Finally I checked the module - something isn't right: [root@tm3 etc]# modprobe w83627ehf FATAL: Error inserting w83627ehf (/lib/modules/2.6.18-274.el5/weak-updates/w83627ehf/w83627ehf.ko): No such device _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
