Salut Jean,

thanks a lot for the hint, I didn't see the syslog - it seems to work
well now:
Oct  8 11:59:50 matrix kernel: overflow in relocation type 10 val
ffffffff881b6ec8
Oct  8 11:59:50 matrix kernel: `pc87427' likely not compiled with
-mcmodel=kernel

so I added -mcmodel=kernel to the Makefile's CFLAGS, which made the
modprobe working.

(there's no fans 5 and 7 installed as there's no more room in the chassis).

Perfect - thanks a lot again!
Although this is already sufficient to monitor I'll try the userspace
lm-sensors part and I'll give you feedback on that.

Kind Regards - Michael
