Prev: Upgraded my old Debian box to Kernel 2.6.32, but missing sensors datas and can't compile the latest stable NVIDIA driver.
Next: Install Linux to Netbook that will ONLY boot from hard disk?

I was missing linux-headers-2.6.32-trunk-common package. I thought I followed up on this earlier.

From: ANTant on 5 Mar 2010 17:28 More details: I am using a MSI K8N NEO4-F (MS-7125) motherboard. You can see http://alpha.zimage.com/~ant/antfarm/about/computers.txt for the detailed hardware setup. Kernel 2.6.30 and earlier used to say something like this: $ sensors -f k8temp-pci-00c3 Adapter: PCI adapter Core0 Temp: +80.6???F .... Adapter: ISA adapter VCore: +1.12 V (min = +2.11 V, max = +2.48 V) +3.3V: +3.28 V (min = +1.46 V, max = +0.21 V) +5V: +4.97 V (min = +0.89 V, max = +0.22 V) +12V: +11.43 V (min = +0.24 V, max = +9.67 V) -12V: +0.72 V (min = -5.37 V, max = +0.63 V) -5V: +5.10 V (min = +1.18 V, max = -7.66 V) V5SB: +5.59 V (min = +0.13 V, max = +0.48 V) VBat: +1.55 V (min = +2.24 V, max = +3.46 V) fan1: 2360 RPM (min = 1622 RPM, div = 4) fan2: 2376 RPM (min = 1985 RPM, div = 4) temp1: +82.4???F (high = +201.2�F, hyst = +221.0�F) sensor = thermistor temp2: +86.0???F (high = +176.0�F, hyst = +167.0�F) sensor = thermistor beep_enable:enabled I think this issue is normal after looking at the FAQ and saw http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/FAQ/Chapter3#Mysensorshavestoppedworkinginkernel2.6.31 which look like my issue and matches dmesg: http://pastie.org/856424 ... I am scared to use the lax method since it is not recommended. Is there another way to show the datas safely? Or do I have to use this trick, live without them, or downgrade back to 2.6.30 Kernel?
