    lm-sensors not working, here is output from sensors-detect

    # sensors-detect revision 4171 (2006-09-24 03:37:01 -0700)

    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): y
    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.
    Module `i2c-i801' already loaded.
    If you have undetectable or unsupported adapters, you can have them
    scanned by manually loading the modules before running this script.

    To continue, we need module `i2c-dev' to be loaded.
    Do you want to load `i2c-dev' now? (YES/no): y
    Module loaded successfully.

    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: NVIDIA i2c adapter 2 at 1:00.0
    Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively): y
    Client found at address 0x50
    Probing for `Analog Devices ADM1033'... No
    Probing for `Analog Devices ADM1034'... No
    Probing for `SPD EEPROM'... Success!
    (confidence 1, driver `eeprom')
    Probing for `EDID EEPROM'... Success!
    (confidence 8, driver `eeprom'), other addresses: 0x51 0x52 0x53 0x54 0x55 0x56 0x57
    Probing for `Maxim MAX6900'... No
    Client found at address 0x6a

    Next adapter: NVIDIA i2c adapter 1 at 1:00.0
    Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively): y

    Next adapter: NVIDIA i2c adapter 0 at 1:00.0
    Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively): y

    Next adapter: SMBus I801 adapter at 10c0
    Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively): y
    Client found at address 0x08
    Client found at address 0x50

    Client found at address 0x55
    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): y
    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 `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): y
    Probing for Super-I/O at 0x2e/0x2f
    Trying family `ITE'... Yes
    Found unknown chip with ID 0x2803
    Trying family `National Semiconductor'... No
    Trying family `SMSC'... Yes
    Found unknown chip with ID 0x2803
    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 `NVIDIA i2c adapter 2 at 1:00.0'
    Busdriver `UNKNOWN', I2C address 0x50 (and 0x51 0x52 0x53 0x54 0x55 0x56 0x57)
    Chip `EDID EEPROM' (confidence:
    * Bus `SMBus I801 adapter at 10c0'
    Busdriver `i2c-i801', I2C address 0x50
    Chip `eeprom' (confidence: 6)
    * Bus `SMBus I801 adapter at 10c0'
    Busdriver `i2c-i801', I2C address 0x52
    Chip `eeprom' (confidence: 6)
    * Bus `SMBus I801 adapter at 10c0'
    Busdriver `i2c-i801', I2C address 0x55
    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/modules:

    #----cut here----
    # I2C adapter drivers
    # modprobe unknown adapter NVIDIA i2c adapter 0 at 1:00.0
    # modprobe unknown adapter NVIDIA i2c adapter 1 at 1:00.0
    # modprobe unknown adapter NVIDIA i2c adapter 2 at 1:00.0
    i2c-i801
    # Chip drivers
    eeprom
    #----cut here----

    Make sure you loaded all the kernel drivers you need.
    Try sensors-detect to find out which these are.

    Are you sure your motherboard is supported? Have a look here to see if your motherboard chip is supported.

    Motherboard

    I'm not exactly sure how to read it but this is my system config page from Dell....I tried checking it out but couldn't figure it out.

    Documentation

    If anyone has a few extra minutes I would really appreciate it. Thanks

    Bad Link

    Okay the link appears not to work, I have a Dell Inspiron 9400. Thanks again
