You need to access your filesystem from another way (usually, Linux installation CDs offer a way to get a working console, or you have to boot from one or two floppy disks). Once you're there, you'll have to mount your root partition somewhere. For example, do: mkdir /tmp/root mount /dev/hdb1 /tmp/root (This assumes that your Linux root disk is /dev/hdb1. Change to whatever it is). Then, go to /tmp/root/etc/rc.d/sysconfig/. You must have a "lm_sensors" init script there, which is the one that crashes your system. Delete it: rm -f /tmp/root/etc/rc.d/sysconfig/lm_sensors. Then unmount your root dir: cd / umount /tmp/root And reboot the usual way. Things should be back to normal. -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
