bad / weird data (Examined/Solved - lm 2.4.5, linux 2.2.13)

[contact]

I am getting some weird data, such as -1 fan rpm and a cpu temp of 127 degrees C, and -0V readings. I am sure that my cpu cannot sustain 127 deg C :) www1:/usr/src/lm_sensors-2.4.5/prog/detect# sensors lm78-isa-0290 Adapter: ISA adapter Algorithm: ISA algorithm VCore 1: +2.99 V (min = +2.52 V, max = +3.08 V) VCore 2: +3.00 V (min = +2.52 V, max = +3.08 V) +3.3V: +3.40 V (min = +2.97 V, max = +3.63 V) +5V: +3.76 V (min = +4.50 V, max = +5.48 V) ALARM +12V: +12.58 V (min = +10.79 V, max = +13.11 V) -12V: -0.00 V (min = -10.78 V, max = -13.18 V) -5V: -0.00 V (min = -4.50 V, max = -5.48 V) fan1: 0 RPM (min = 3000 RPM, div = 2) ALARM fan2: 0 RPM (min = 3000 RPM, div = 2) ALARM fan3: -1 RPM (min = 3000 RPM, div = 2) temp: +127 C (limit = +60 C, hysteresis = +50 C) vid: +3.50 V alarms: Board temperature input (usually LM75 chips) ALARM alarms: Chassis intrusion detection --- Your temperature sensor is not connected. Try to set the fan_div to other values to see whether you can get your fans to run. Some of your voltage sensors are not connected either. All in all, I think you have either a crappy mainboard, or a partial LM78-compatible chip that is misdetected as a LM78. If you have a SiS chipset, you may need the sis5595 driver instead - there is a bug in lm_sensors-2.4.5 that makes sensors-detect not detect the SiS correctly. If not, try to find out what chip you have, and if we can find its data sheets, we will try to support it. Good luck,
