lm_sensors and wrong output

I installed lm_sensors and did the detection also and while detecting the result was :

 sudo sensors-detect
# sensors-detect revision 5984 (2011-07-10 21:22:53 +0200)
# System: Dell Inc. Inspiron 1545 (laptop)
# Board: Dell Inc. 0G848F

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): yes

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): yes
Probing for Super-I/O at 0x2e/0x2f
Trying family `National Semiconductor/ITE'...               No

Trying family `National Semiconductor/ITE'...               Yes
Found unknown chip with ID 0xfc11

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): yes
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): yes

Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done.
Just press ENTER to continue: 

Driver `coretemp':
  * Chip `Intel digital thermal sensor' (confidence: 9)

Do you want to overwrite /etc/conf.d/lm_sensors? (YES/no): yes
You should now start the lm_sensors service to load the required
kernel modules.

Unloading i2c-dev... OK
Unloading cpuid... OK

BUT doing sensors i get

sensors
acpitz-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1:        +44.5°C  (crit = +93.0°C)

i did everything but the result is still the same. at lest I have MORE than one CORE.

Re: lm_sensors and wrong output

I'd love to see this thread solved as my Dell XPS L1502 has the same situation. A sensors-detect brings the same module as you but the sensors outputs temperatures for just 2 cores for an i5 should be listed, which are about 50°C (normal?).

acpitz-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1:        +54.0°C  (crit = +100.0°C)
temp2:        +54.0°C  (crit = +100.0°C)

coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Physical id 0:  +55.0°C  (high = +86.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 0:         +54.0°C  (high = +86.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 1:         +49.0°C  (high = +86.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)

The pwmconfig returns an error "no pwm-capable sensor modules installed".

Thanks for everyone contributing to this thread.
