When trying to load lm_sensors (/etc/init.d/lm_sensors start), it first successfully loads w83627hf, and then fails to detect the device. In /sys/bus/i2c/devices, I have 9191-0290 directory that contains the sensors' information, however /usr/bin/sensors -s fails to detect it. From documentation on this I found, the device appears to be referred to as 9191-0c00. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1./etc/init.d/lm_sensors start 2. 3. Actual Results: It loads the appropriate sensor module (w83627hf) but when starting sensors -s, it fails to detect any sensors. Expected Results: Should have loaded the sensor module and should then be able to display the sensor information I'm not sure if there is a file somewhere that defines the 9191-0290 name, or that sensors.conf can be updated to point to the correct device in /sys/bus/i2c/devices.

What about 2.10.4?
The problem was determined to be sysfsutils required an upgrade from version 1.3 to 2.1. Not sure if it is exactly related to the changes in sysfsutils, or if some other combination of upgrades started the issue, but after installing the ~x86 (unstable) package, the problem was fixed. Perhaps should be a prerequisite for lm_sensors
