Hello,
No problem for the delay :)
Actually, I looked at how your script worked a long time ago, and I
never had any problems with LM-Sensors. So, as I kept upgrading, I just kept
deleting the check for IBM and made the program run. So, I guess my Aptiva
works fine with LM-Sensors :)
For the VPDDecode, the output is not really interesting; as it goes
like:
Neptune dmidecode-2.4 # ./vpddecode
# vpddecode 2.4
# No VPD structure found, sorry.
So, just to tell you, since this program doesn't seem to work, the
computer is an Aptiva 2274-38U, which comes with an IBM S21M motherboard,
which has a VIA686a chipset. So, you can see all this info from DMIDecode as
attached at the end of this email.
Hope this helps out!

OK. If you still want to help, here's what you can do.
1* Provide the output of vpddecode for your system. vpddecode is part of
the dmidecode package which can be found here:
http://www.nongnu.org/dmidecode/
2* Get lm_sensors CVS:
http://secure.netroedge.com/~lm78/download.html#cvs
Edit sensors-detect, last line of function safe_system_vendor, replace
"exit" with "return". Sensors-detect will now accept to run on your
system. Recent changes make us _believe_ that it is safe on all systems.
(We'll do the change permanently as soon as we are certain that the
change has no downside). Still don't do it if you consider your system
priceless.
And let us know how it goes.
Thanks.
