Yup, it was as you suspected. I built a kernel as suggested above, and ran sensors -s without any error. After doing that, the values reported by sensors were consistent with the BIOS readings. > If a non-gentoo kernel on the same system make "sensors -s" work, I'll > start checking which patch Gentoo does include that could reveal the > problem. Maybe it'll give us an idea of where to look at. You might want to look at what patches both Gentoo and Debian use (since you said that both distros tend to have this problem). That might help you narrow down the search a little bit. For what it's worth, I was having the problem with the gentoo kernel version "2.4.22-gentoo-r5". (Gentoo has several kernels available.) I have another system running "2.4.20-gentoo-r7" that does NOT have this problem (although it is a different motherboard, and uses a different sensor chip). > Thanks for your assistance, sorry that I can't help you much at the > moment. No problem! Please let me know if I can be of any more assistance or do anything else to help. Thank you! Matt -- Matt Garman email at: http://raw-sewage.net/index.php?file=email
