I'm glad you were able to apply the patch.
The via686a is on the ISA bus. That may be changing the "corruption"
that happens when we attempt to read from /proc.
David, can you please run:
strace -o /tmp/sensors.strace sensors -s
And then send me (or the list) the file /tmp/sensors.strace that will be
created. I'd like to see the system calls and more detail about the
error before we decide to back out the patch. It definitely does solve
a problem for some people...
Thanks,
:v)
