Following from my previous adventure of configuring Debian, I'm now faced with a hardware dilemma. The symptoms appeared when I first boot into Debian was the shrilling noise emitting from my laptop vent and it only grows from there. After installing lm-sensors, there was only a pci adapter that shows the temperature and to make this story short, here's what I did:
root@debian:/home/zhong# modprobe w83627ehf
FATAL: Error inserting w83627ehf (/lib/modules/2.6.32-5-amd64/kernel/drivers/hwmon/w83627ehf.ko): No such device
root@debian:/home/zhong# modprobe w83627ehf force_id=0x8860
This method was a guide from an ubuntu forum: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1933020. However the results differ.

temp3: +0.0°C (high = +0.0°C, hyst = +0.0°C) ALARM sensor = diode

The new adapter virtually shows no temperature or activity.

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): y
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... Success!
(driver `k10temp')
AMD Family 11h thermal sensors... No
Intel Core family thermal sensor... No
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): y
Probing for Super-I/O at 0x2e/0x2f
Trying family `National Semiconductor'... No
Trying family `SMSC'... No
Trying family `VIA/Winbond/Nuvoton/Fintek'... No
Trying family `ITE'... No
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): y
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): n
Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done.
Just press ENTER to continue:
Driver `k10temp' (autoloaded):
* Chip `AMD Family 10h thermal sensors' (confidence: 9)
No modules to load, skipping modules configuration.
So what could I be doing wrong, have I install the wrong driver for my hardware? The thread has almost an identical problem to mine as well as the detection results.
