Quoting myself: "(...) try the following: cd /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/i2c (make sure this command succeeded before running the rm commands below) rm *.o rm -r busses rm -r chips With no more sensor modules installed, everything should be back to normal I guess." Hope it'll work this time too. Looks like your system really doesn't like lm_sensors and I think you should stop trying or you'll end up breaking things seriously. I don't know what we can do to solve the problem (none of us has a PPC to make tests on). If we even can figure something out, we'll let you know. -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
