I think I triggered some alarm or something like that. The internal speaker started to beep, but the things goes back to the normal after I echoed the previous value back to temp1. (Yes, I do "cat temp1", first ). Currently the temp1 value is "60.0 127.0 40.0". I set vrm to 9.0 too, without changes.... > Then run sensors. Temp1's limit should now be 70 instead of 60. Playing with others variables, like In5_min and In5_max, I can see changes in the output of sensors. > > If it works, this means that libsensors is having trouble. > Is it fine the directories have permissions 0444 ? The error message show a write problem with the 0444 directory as99127f-i2c-0-2d, not with the files...just a idea, in case you haven't noticed.... For your convenience, the error message was: # sensors -s as99127f-i2c-0-2d: Can't access /proc file for writing; Run as root? # > If it doesn't, this means that the /proc interface itself is having > trouble. > > > I think is worth to mention that in single user mode, the umask is > > 022.

If you have a beta code, I will be happy to test in my system. This is my personal workstation, so testing a beta code would be fine (I hope !). However, I prefer to not test an alpha code because the risk to damage my system beyond repair is too much for me. You know, I don't have a tape for take a full backup, just the essential in CDR and Zip disks. Let me know if I can help, or if you want some more information. thank you for your help so far, -- Miguel Angelo Rozsas miguel at rozsas.xx.nom.br
