Admittedly weird, especially since thermistor-based measurements are passive (while thermal diode measurements are active). At any rate, running "sensors" doesn't trigger the physical measurements. These are done in the background, whether you read them or not. So I have no explanation to what you see. You may try the following command: isaset -f 0x6627 0x02 It'll increase the sampling rate (at the cost of power consumption, I suppose). You can revert to the old speed at any time using: isaset -f 0x6627 0x00 Let me know if it changes anything. Once again, it would be very valuable to know for sure from Soekris if we are dealing with thermistors, and of what kind. Jean Delvare
