My only box with sensors is my new Athlon with Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe AM2.
I had to use Etch when it was testing since Sarge wouldn't boot it.
Alas, I don't know if a 2.6.16 kernel would have found the sensors but
the .18 does not.
OTOH, I have all my fans controlled by the MB and a smart PSU
(CoolerMaster iGreen 600). When the fans (all 8 case fans) go into high
gear, I can hear them from anywhere in the house. Beats a little 'beep'
from sensord :)
