HP Compaq 6720s no thermal-sensor detected

[ticket]

I have encountered following problem.

lm-sensors version

map@mp1:~$ sensors -v
sensors version 3.0.2 with libsensors version 3.0.2

and it's running on newest packages from ubuntu 8.10.

sensors-detect failed to detect the chip under super-i/o smsc and only displaying:

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

It's not possible for ACPI to control the Thermal-Zone correctly. I've read, that i should use "cpqhealth" in the FAQs on this site. But how should i do that?

I would be glad, if somebody could help me out a bit. regards
