[lm-sensors] sensors-detect: Found unknown chip with ID 0x8708

[apetar@gmail.com (Petar Aleksich)]

Hello,
I've been using lm_sensors ( i2c-i801, asb100, eeprom  ) for
months without any problems , recently after kernel upgrade from 2.6.16
series to >=2.6.17 sensors-detect can't find any modules.  

---------------------
Used:
sysfsutils-2.1.0
lm_sensors-2.10.1
gcc-4.4.1
glibc-2.4

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.

Sorry, no sensors were detected.
Either your sensors are not supported, or they are connected to an
I2C or SMBus adapter that is not supported. See doc/FAQ,
doc/lm_sensors-FAQ.html or http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/FAQ
(FAQ #4.24.3) for further information.
If you find out what chips are on your board, check
http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/Devices for driver status.
