I don't have a record of any followup to #689. I don't have any magic for how to figure out what chip you have. Look at what we do support, check manufacturers websites so you can recognize logos on the chips, look for numbers similar to chips we do support, when you find part numbers search the web to see what chip it is. Ask Soyo support what chip it is also. good luck! let us know if you figure it out. mds Akkana wrote: > > I'm having the same problem as is described in ticket #689, > http://www.netroedge.com/~lm78/readticket.cgi?ticket=689 -- > I also have a Soyo K7ADA motherboard, lm-sensors sees an > lm78 chip, but when I try to modprobe lm78, I get an audible > tone that won't go away and I have to shut the machine down. > I've gone over my board trying to figure out what chip it uses, > and I can't find anything that explicitly says "lm78" but can't > find anything with a similar name either (sorry, I'm not that > experienced with hardware and don't know how to recognize a sensor > chip when I see one -- any hints?)
