Yes, you did. We already had reports that adm1021 was causing systems to crash, so you seem to confirm that. Most likely, you don't have an adm1021 or compatible device on your system. The driver is probably trying to handle a device it wasn't written for. We'd need the full output of sensors-detect 2.8.0 to investigate the problem. I'd also want the output of sensors-detect CVS (which you can get here: http://www2.lm-sensors.nu/~lm78/cvs/lm_sensors2/prog/detect/sensors-detect). Don't forget to unload all chip drivers (adm1021, eeprom, w83781) before running the scripts. Thanks. -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
