网上说：You'll have to apt-get install lm_sensors or apt-get install lm-sensors ( LM_SENSORS or LM-SENSORS all lower ) and run the detection script.But some boards have really cheapo or proprietary sensor chips on them that aren't supported.

接下来是我电脑的设置情况：

xuweihai@xuweihai-Compaq-510:~$ sudo sensors-detect

[sudo] password for xuweihai: 

# sensors-detect revision 5818 (2010-01-18 17:22:07 +0100)

# System: Hewlett-Packard Compaq 510 (laptop)

# Board: Hewlett-Packard 308A

This program will help you determine which kernel modules you need

to load to use lm_sensors most effectively. It is generally safe

and recommended to accept the default answers to all questions,

unless you know what you're doing.

Some south bridges, CPUs or memory controllers contain embedded sensors.

Do you want to scan for them? This is totally safe. (YES/no): yes

Silicon Integrated Systems SIS5595...                       No

VIA VT82C686 Integrated Sensors...                          No

VIA VT8231 Integrated Sensors...                            No

AMD K8 thermal sensors...                                   No

AMD Family 10h thermal sensors...                           No

AMD Family 11h thermal sensors...                           No

Intel Core family thermal sensor...                         Success!

    (driver `coretemp')

Intel Atom thermal sensor...                                No

Intel AMB FB-DIMM thermal sensor...                         No

VIA C7 thermal sensor...                                    No

VIA Nano thermal sensor...                                  No

Some Super I/O chips contain embedded sensors. We have to write to

standard I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe.

Do you want to scan for Super I/O sensors? (YES/no): yes

Probing for Super-I/O at 0x2e/0x2f

Trying family `National Semiconductor'...                   No

Trying family `SMSC'...                                     Yes

Found unknown chip with ID 0x3600

Probing for Super-I/O at 0x4e/0x4f

Trying family `National Semiconductor'...                   No

Trying family `SMSC'...                                     No

Trying family `VIA/Winbond/Nuvoton/Fintek'...               No

Trying family `ITE'...                                      No

Some hardware monitoring chips are accessible through the ISA I/O ports.

We have to write to arbitrary I/O ports to probe them. This is usually

safe though. Yes, you do have ISA I/O ports even if you do not have any

ISA slots! Do you want to scan the ISA I/O ports? (YES/no): yes

Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78' at 0x290...       No

Probing for `National Semiconductor LM79' at 0x290...       No

Probing for `Winbond W83781D' at 0x290...                   No

Probing for `Winbond W83782D' at 0x290...                   No

Lastly, we can probe the I2C/SMBus adapters for connected hardware

monitoring devices. This is the most risky part, and while it works

reasonably well on most systems, it has been reported to cause trouble

on some systems.

Do you want to probe the I2C/SMBus adapters now? (YES/no): yes

Sorry, no supported PCI bus adapters found.

Module i2c-dev loaded successfully.

Next adapter: intel drm CRTDDC_A (i2c-0)

Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively): yes

Next adapter: intel drm LVDSDDC_C (i2c-1)

Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively): yes

Client found at address 0x50

Probing for `Analog Devices ADM1033'...                     No

Probing for `Analog Devices ADM1034'...                     No

Probing for `SPD EEPROM'...                                 No

Probing for `EDID EEPROM'...                                Yes

    (confidence 8, not a hardware monitoring chip)

Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done.

Just press ENTER to continue: 

Driver `coretemp':

  * Chip `Intel Core family thermal sensor' (confidence: 9)

To load everything that is needed, add this to /etc/modules:

#----cut here----

# Chip drivers

coretemp

#----cut here----

If you have some drivers built into your kernel, the list above will

contain too many modules. Skip the appropriate ones!

Do you want to add these lines automatically to /etc/modules? (yes/NO)yes

Successful!

Monitoring programs won't work until the needed modules are

loaded. You may want to run '/etc/init.d/module-init-tools start'

to load them.

Unloading i2c-dev... OK

但 我run '/etc/init.d/module-init-tools start' 后发现我电脑竟然没反应就像接下来这个电脑一个情况：

when I type sudo service module-init-tools start， I get module-init-tools stop/waiting and nothing happens
