lm-sensors don't work with ICH8 southbridges

Which motherboard? Output of lsmod and lspci -v, please.

It is Dell Latitude D610 notebook. More details are in lspci.log and in Ubuntu's hwdb: a9d0012eefa11bdd7890e74c18374ab2

Also adding output of strace -f sensors, see sensors_strace.log.

I can confirm this on my desktop:

cpu: Amd 64 3200+
mobo: ASRock Dual Sata II S939
kernel: 2.6.17-10-generic

I also noted that /sys/class/hwmon, exists (is a directory), but is empty. Strace output looks identical to that from Jan Mynarik.

lm-sensors version: 1:2.10.0-7ubuntu3

Been having the same issue.

CPU:Intel Core 2 Duo E6600
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-965P-DQ6
Kernel: Edgy default

I have the same problem with E6300 and gigabyte DS3 motherboard running edgy.

I am having the same problem

CPU: VIA Nehemiah
Mobo: VIA Epia M10000
Kernel: Default edgy

same problem here... Intel DP965LT Mobo CPU Intel Core 2 Extreme Processor QX6700

Confirmed by multiple reports.

I'm getting this problem on a new GIGABYTE GA-965G-DS3 motherboard.

Am getting the same problem on Hardy Heron.

Maybe this problem is because the ICH8 is not supported by lm-sensors because of lack of documentation
