First, you have to pay attention that there are two parts in the lm_sensors project: 1* Kernel modules 2* User-space tools. All distributions that include lm_sensors have *two* distinct packages for these. In some (most) cases the kernel modules are part of the kernel package, while the user-space tools are in a lm-sensors package. So I suspect that you have been upgrading only the lm-sensors package, and *not* the kernel package, while you should have done that as well. So you should try upgrading kernels and see how it goes. If you can't get it to work, you may want to give a try to Axel Thimm's packages: Userspace tools at http://atrpms.net/name/lm_sensors/ Kernels at http://atrpms.net/name/kernel/ Hope that helps. -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
