My system is an AMD64 with Nforce3 and ite8712f-A chips. I was hoping to get partial info from the ite chip. after placing the following in the /etc/modules.conf > alias eth1 tulip > alias char-major-195 nvidia > # I2C module options > alias char-major-89 i2c-dev > options it87 ignore=-1,0x290 > # I2C adapter drivers > #modprobe i2c-isa > # I2C chip drivers > #modprobe it87 > # sleep 2 # optional > #/usr/local/bin/sensors -s # recommended when modprobe it87 activates it shuts down all my internal fans. anyway commenting out the last 2 modprobes, sensors -s and removing the lm_sensors file from the /etc/rc.d/init.d allows me to reboot. Also when I rebooted the first time there were massive failures from other devices such as mouse iptables ect... Thanks in advanced john
