> I was trying to get I2C/lm_sensors running on one of our "refurbished" > servers, but ran into freezes while loading the i2c-piix driver. This known bug was introduced in 2.8.1 while trying to workaround a few buggy piix4-compatible chipsets. The workaround, although tested, turned out to confuse some others piix4-compatible chipsets (OSB4 and OSB5 if I remember correctly), so it has been reversed. (Well it is still present but not enabled by default.) Get an updated lm_sensors2 from CVS and it should work OK. Sorry for the trouble. -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
