Yes, I did - but it said "failed" thought it has something to do that
there is no configuration file until now...

Using "su -" instead of "su" solved this problem - but unfortunatly it
found no sensors :(
I also tested lm_sensors with Slackware which added
MODULE_0=i2c-nforce2
MODULE_1=dme1737
MODULE_2=lm85
to /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors - so the sensor is there.
Maybe lm_sensors included in SL4.6 is too old (2.8.7 vs. 3.0.2 in
Slackware) for the really new type of Processor...
I will have to check it on the Changelog of lm_sensors - hopefully there
is one on there homepage.

Hm, ok - I had expect that some modules should be loaded which is maybe
not automatically done in SL.
