Hi, I'm trying to get the sensors to work correctly on my ASUS P4B266-C motherboard. I have read all the relevant information on the lm-sensors web site, in particular the tweaks I need to make on the PCI bus and so on. Plus the option I need to pass to the w83781d module to get it to recognize my chip. So anyway, all that works mostly fine and produces useful output on the temperature and so on. The problem here is that it also enables the goddamn beep-alarm and I _cannot_ get it to shut off without rebooting. It comes on the second I load the module and will not go off, even if I unload the module. I suspect the alarm is coming on because temp3 is out of range, but that's because it isn't connected to anything - it just displays 127C. I edited sensors.conf to tell it to ignore temp3, and that doesn't work: it omits display of that sensor, but doesn't stop the beeping. I turned off "beep_enable" and now sensors doesn't say it's on any more, but that doesn't stop the beeping either. The fan display is broken, and the fix detailed in the problem ticket doesn't solve it, but I suspect that's a BIOS issue: according to ASUS, versions 1001 and 1002 of this board's BIOS don't report the fan correctly. That may just be the BIOS display, though; I'm mentioning it just in case it's relevant. In any event, the only thing that displays an "alarm" message is temp3. I would unplug the speaker from the motherboard, but the beeping would actually be a really useful feature if it worked correctly. So I'd rather get the problem fixed. So is there anything I can do? Or is this the limit of the functionality I can expect for the time being? I really would like lm-sensors to work, because I hope to overclock this CPU and need to watch the temperature to keep from overclocking it too far. (It's not overclocked ATM.) Thanks, and kudos on the great work you've already done: everything works flawlessly on my other two systems. -- Eric McCoy (reverse "ten.xoc at mpe", mail to "ctr2sprt" is filtered) "Last I checked, it wasn't the power cord for the Clue Generator that was sticking up your ass." - John Novak, rasfwrj
