Did you run 'sensors-detect' (as root)? It asks a bunch of
questions (default answers are usually best), then generates some
lines you need to paste into /etc/rc.d/rc.local and
/etc/modules.conf. You might also need to put 'i2c-proc' in
/etc/modules. Then as user typing 'sensors' should display temps,
fan speeds, voltages. Normally you shouldn't need to edit
sensors.conf.

It'll run forever if you let it, but if you've got ram problems
they'll usually become apparent immediately or at least within 15 to
30 minutes. For a thorough test let it run overnite. You should see
-0- errors.
