Has anyone got (linux) lmsensors working? The chipset doesn't seem to be supported.

You may need to install k10temp. It's explained in your link. You don't state what kernel and distribution you're using so it's hard to be more specific.

Sorry I meant to post this to viewtopic.php?f=20&t=60236&hilit=proliant+microserver. I have debian stable (squeeze) and kernel 2.6.32-5-amd64. I was just wondering if anyone else had already got it working.

It depends what you mean by "working". It's explained in your link.
The reported temperature changes make sense and are consistent with the temperatures reported by SMART so it's useful even if the baseline is off. I didn't compare it with the BIOS reading.

I think you will need to install k10temp if you want to use the squeeze kernel. I am not running Debian on my Microserver.
