No sensors found!
Make sure you loaded all the kernel drivers you need.
Try sensors-detect to find out which these are.

sensors-detect revision 5984 (2011-07-10 21:22:53 +0200)

Board: Intel Corporation D865GLC

This program will help you determine which kernel modules you need
to load to use lm_sensors most effectively. It is generally safe
and recommended to accept the default answers to all questions,
unless you know what you’re doing.

Some south bridges, CPUs or memory controllers contain embedded sensors.
Do you want to scan for them? This is totally safe. (YES/no):
Module cpuid loaded successfully.
Silicon Integrated Systems SIS5595… No
VIA VT82C686 Integrated Sensors… No
VIA VT8231 Integrated Sensors… No
AMD K8 thermal sensors… No
AMD Family 10h thermal sensors… No
AMD Family 11h thermal sensors… No
AMD Family 12h and 14h thermal sensors… No
AMD Family 15h thermal sensors… No
AMD Family 15h power sensors… No
Intel digital thermal sensor… No
Intel AMB FB-DIMM thermal sensor… No
VIA C7 thermal sensor… No
VIA Nano thermal sensor… No

Some Super I/O chips contain embedded sensors. We have to write to
standard I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe.
Do you want to scan for Super I/O sensors? (YES/no):

It looks like it identifies my motherboard but doesn’t see the chipset? It worked in 11.4. In any case they do not work after I run this program through to the end and it goes through precisely the same routine again if I do.

Scott;
Have you checked to see if there is a sensors3.conf for your Motherboard:

See:
http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/Configurations

This is from the comments at the top of /etc/sensors3.conf.
