I did this right before I started. On the last try sensors gave me
segfaults no matter what modules were loaded, but now it's ok.

You're right, I don't have one. :)
I remember seeing a post on the web by someone with the same board as
me. I think I'll search my history and use this as a starting
configuration.

OK. Thanks for the hint. I'll try this.

OK. Thanks. I think this conforms with my BIOS, there are also onyl 2
temperatures as far as I remember. And yes, I tried it: temp2 is my
CPU...it's also indicated in the output but I didn't realize it at
