** Description changed:
Prior to upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10 I had configured
pwmconfig/sensors/fancontrol so that the cooling fans on my servers were
not too loud. I have 2 TYAN Transport GX28 servers with Tyan Thunder
K8S Pro S2881G2NR motherboards, which have the latest BIOS updates from
TYAN. These are 1U servers, which have very loud fans. I am using them
outside of a rack in my home, and they stayed cool with fans running at
about 1/3 the maximum default speeds. After upgrading to Ubuntu version
9.10, the fans are now running very loud again. When I run sensors, I
get only the basic k8temp CPU temperatures and do not get the long
version of the output that showed fan speed, temp, or voltage sensors.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I tried to run pwmconfig again to configure the '/etc/fancontrol
configuration file, but I get an error that says:
- /usr/sbin/pwmconfig: There are no pwm-capable sensor modules
installed
+ /usr/sbin/pwmconfig: There are no pwm-capable sensor modules

- Detects correctly:

- Chip `Winbond W83627HF/F/HG/G Super IO Sensors' (confidence: 9)
