lm_sensors finds 2 moduels, but "No sensors found!"

[egandt]

Ok so at the end is the outut from sensors-detect, however what counts are the lines:
Next adapter: SMBus I801 adapter at 18a0
Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively): yes
Client found at address 0x08
Client found at address 0x44
Handled by driver `eeprom' (already loaded), chip type `eeprom'
Client found at address 0x69

Ok so the 2 modules are found, next


/etc/sysconfig/sensors, has teh correct 2 lines in it
MODULE_0=i2c-i801
MODULE_1=eeprom


since the modules for
i2c-i801
eeprom


are compiled into my kernel I have no need to load them, but when I run sensors I get:
No sensors found!
Make sure you loaded all the kernel drivers you need.
Try sensors-detect to find out which these are.


Added the suggested alias to modules.conf


I'm at a loss as I've used sensors on many systems and I always have done the same thing, yet now I can not get this system to see any sensors, any ideas what I'm doing wrong


Thanks,
ERIC

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.

We can start with probing for (PCI) I2C or SMBus adapters.
Do you want to probe now? (YES/no): yes
Probing for PCI bus adapters...
Use driver `i2c-i801' for device 0000:00:1f.3: Intel ICH7

We will now try to load each adapter module in turn.
Load `i2c-i801' (say NO if built into your kernel)? (YES/no): yes
FATAL: Module i2c_i801 not found.
Loading failed... skipping.
If you have undetectable or unsupported adapters, you can have them
scanned by manually loading the modules before running this script.

We are now going to do the I2C/SMBus adapter probings. Some chips may
be double detected; we choose the one with the highest confidence
value in that case.
If you found that the adapter hung after probing a certain address,
you can specify that address to remain unprobed.

Next adapter: SMBus I801 adapter at 18a0
Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively): yes
Client found at address 0x08
Client found at address 0x44
Probing for `Maxim MAX6633/MAX6634/MAX6635'... No
Client found at address 0x57
Handled by driver `eeprom' (already loaded), chip type `eeprom'
Client found at address 0x69

Some chips are also 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): yes
Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78' at 0x290... No
Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78-J' at 0x290... No
Probing for `National Semiconductor LM79' at 0x290... No
Probing for `Winbond W83781D' at 0x290... No
Probing for `Winbond W83782D' at 0x290... No
Probing for `Winbond W83627HF' at 0x290... No
Probing for `Silicon Integrated Systems SIS5595'... No
Probing for `VIA VT82C686 Integrated Sensors'... No
Probing for `VIA VT8231 Integrated Sensors'... No
Probing for `AMD K8 thermal sensors'... No
Probing for `IPMI BMC KCS' at 0xca0... No
Probing for `IPMI BMC SMIC' at 0xca8... No

Some Super I/O chips may also contain 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): yes
Probing for Super-I/O at 0x2e/0x2f
Trying family `ITE'... No
Trying family `National Semiconductor'... No
Trying family `SMSC'... No
Trying family `VIA/Winbond/Fintek'... No
Probing for Super-I/O at 0x4e/0x4f
Trying family `ITE'... No
Trying family `National Semiconductor'... No
Trying family `SMSC'... No
Trying family `VIA/Winbond/Fintek'... No

Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done.
Just press ENTER to continue:

Driver `eeprom' (should be inserted):
Detects correctly:
* Bus `SMBus I801 adapter at 18a0'
Busdriver `i2c-i801', I2C address 0x57
Chip `eeprom' (confidence: 6)

EEPROMs are *NOT* sensors! They are data storage chips commonly
found on memory modules (SPD), in monitors (EDID), or in some
laptops, for example.

I will now generate the commands needed to load the required modules.
Just press ENTER to continue:

To make the sensors modules behave correctly, add these lines to
/etc/modprobe.conf:

#----cut here----
# I2C module options
alias char-major-89 i2c-dev
#----cut here----

To load everything that is needed, add this to some /etc/rc* file:

#----cut here----
# I2C adapter drivers
modprobe i2c-i801
# Chip drivers
# Warning: the required module eeprom is not currently installed
# on your system. For status of 2.6 kernel ports check
# http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/Devices. If driver is built
# into the kernel, or unavailable, comment out the following line.
modprobe eeprom
# sleep 2 # optional
/usr/bin/sensors -s # recommended
#----cut here----

If you have some drivers built into your kernel, the list above will
contain too many modules. Skip the appropriate ones! You really
should try these commands right now to make sure everything is
working properly. Monitoring programs won't work until the needed
modules are loaded.

Do you want to overwrite /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors? (YES/no): YES

What motherboard do you have? I suspect it's an Intel 965 chipset based one, in which case don't bother with lm-sensors, it won't work.

Thanks thats the problem

[moocha]

For its 965 chipsets, Intel is using a proprietary technology called HECI to access sensor data. They've only recently (read: last week) released some usable drivers, but it's a completely new technology and from what I've seen of it it's unlikely to work properly with lm-sensors in the foreseeable future. You can find more details here: http://softwareblogs.intel.com/2007/04/13/intel-me-interface-heci-now-available/
I might start working on an integration project, though, since my systems are also 965-based.
