I just recently changed my motherboard, and now the command “sensors” shows “no sensors detected”
I ran sensors-detect but still i get no sensors detected.
Any help appreciated, it must be something really simple actually.

could be that there is no sensorchip on your mb, although that is pretty rare these days or that it is a new one that sensors not yet detects, did you check if there is a newer version of sensors ?
try a search on google with something like this:
linux sensors (motherboard brand/model)
where you enter main board info inside of quotes, like this:
“ASUS P6TD Deluxe” or “Intel D955XBK” etc
or, just use google to find the exact specs of the board, and read
what sensor capability is included, if any…

Im pretty sure it has Sensor capabilities, its and MSI K9A2 CF, 790X Chipset. Ive got latest sensors package for opensuse 3.1.1 i think.

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):
Silicon Integrated Systems SIS5595... No
VIA VT82C686 Integrated Sensors... No
VIA VT8231 Integrated Sensors... No
AMD K8 thermal sensors... No
AMD K10 thermal sensors... Success!
(driver `to-be-written')
Intel Core family thermal sensor... No
Intel AMB FB-DIMM thermal sensor... No
VIA C7 thermal and voltage sensors... 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):
Probing for Super-I/O at 0x2e/0x2f
Trying family `National Semiconductor'... No
Trying family `SMSC'... No
Trying family `VIA/Winbond/Fintek'... No
Trying family `ITE'... No
Probing for Super-I/O at 0x4e/0x4f
Trying family `National Semiconductor'... No
Trying family `SMSC'... No
Trying family `VIA/Winbond/Fintek'... Yes
Found `Fintek F71882FG/F71883FG Super IO Sensors' Success!
(address 0x600, driver `f71882fg')
Some systems (mainly servers) implement IPMI, a set of common interfaces
through which system health data may be retrieved, amongst other things.
We first try to get the information from SMBIOS. If we don't find it
there, we have to read from arbitrary I/O ports to probe for such
interfaces. This is normally safe. Do you want to scan for IPMI
interfaces? (YES/no):
Probing for `IPMI BMC KCS' at 0xca0... No
Probing for `IPMI BMC SMIC' at 0xca8... No
Some hardware monitoring chips are accessible through the ISA I/O ports.
We have to write to arbitrary I/O ports to probe them. This is usually
safe though. Yes, you do have ISA I/O ports even if you do not have any
ISA slots! Do you want to scan the ISA I/O ports? (yes/NO):
Lastly, we can probe the I2C/SMBus adapters for connected hardware
monitoring devices. This is the most risky part, and while it works
reasonably well on most systems, it has been reported to cause trouble
on some systems.
Do you want to probe the I2C/SMBus adapters now? (YES/no):
Using driver `i2c-piix4' for device 0000:00:14.0: ATI Technologies Inc SB600 SMBus
Module i2c-dev loaded successfully.
Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done.
Just press ENTER to continue:
Driver `to-be-written':
* Chip `AMD K10 thermal sensors' (confidence: 9)
Driver `f71882fg':
* ISA bus, address 0x600
Chip `Fintek F71882FG/F71883FG Super IO Sensors' (confidence: 9)
Note: there is no driver for AMD K10 thermal sensors yet.
Check http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/Devices for updates.
Do you want to overwrite /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors? (YES/no):
Unloading i2c-dev... OK
Hi
Does it have the f71882fg chipset? What is the output from the command
lsmod?

Hi
Did you try a modprobe on the driver?
sudo /sbin/modprobe/f71882fg
sensors
Any output from;
acpi -V

PD: And just a tiny side question, how can i see the real MHZ of my processor, stressing it just shows its stock speed, which is 2800mhz, not 3080mhz as its OC’ed atm.
Thanks

Oops, the / between the modeprobe and f… is meant to be a space.

Hi
You need to install the cpufrequtils package, cpufreq-info should show
you the current state which I would guess is ondemand.

Anyone with ideas?
It seems like the support for the fintek driver will only come on kernel 2.6.33, as mentioned here Devices – lm-sensors
On the other hand, i think i need to add a new frequency step:
available frequency steps: 2.80 GHz, 2.10 GHz, 1.60 GHz, 800 MHz
Those are the ones available at the moment. If i overclocked to say 3.1Ghz on BIOS, i would need a 3.10Ghz frequency step on OpenSUSE, any clues on doing that?
Thanks
Hi
Install the .33 kernel then? There have been posts on how to do it on
the fora.

Yeah well, its not that simple, ATI drivers barely support .31 kernels.
Btw, i found out i was missin the k10temp driver. Installed it and this is what i get from doing sensors on konsole:
dhcppc2:/home/gabriel # exit
exit
gabriel@dhcppc2:~> sensors
k10temp-pci-00c3
Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1: +46.9°C
I miss those voltages readings i used to get on my old motherboard though.
Still no solution for the Frequency steps.
No harm in trying the later kernel??
Get an nvidia card <ducking> seriously though, if you can…
Hmmm, I’ve never worried too much about overclocking although I had a
brief play on this system, so when you run cat /proc/cpuinfo it shows
the full speed?
