Reply from support: Get CVS release of lm_sensors and use ?modprobe w83781d init=0? which should prevent the hangs. Let us know if it doesn?t at sensors at stimpy.netroedge.com. MDS 11/8/01 ------------------------ Still no luck. I grabbed sensors2 and i2c as described in download.html page. I generated a patch file: mkpatch/mkpatch.pl . /usr/src/linux > /tmp/pat cd /usr/src/linux patch -p1 < /tmp/pat I didn't see any new settings in the make xconfig section. Then I ran make dep && make clean && make bzImage && make modules && make modules_install Then I went back to the i2c directory and ran make make install then went to sensors2 make make install Pushed new kernel and modules to my test system, rebooted and ran modprobe w83781d init=0 modprobe i2c-piix4 and it hung. on the next boot I tried the modprobes in the reverse order and it hung after the second modprobe. This kernel has mods for reiserfs and kernel crash dump in it (should have mentioned that originally). They haven't given me trouble in the past but I can build against a clean 2.2.19 if that would be helpful. I'm including the patch file (can't think of anything else useful to do ;-) --john -- John Lash jkl at sarvega.com 630-734-5925 Sarvega Inc. 745 McClintock, Suite 230 Burr Ridge, IL 60527 -------------- next part -------------- An embedded and charset-unspecified text was scrubbed...
