>>You don't use the reset_it87 module parameter, do you? >> >I don't even know what it is.:-) Just a module parameter you can use if you want to have the IT87xx chip reset and arbitrarily reconfigured. That's so useful that we plan to drop it at some later time... ;) Read below though. >OK, I thought I had tried all combos in MBM, but I guess not.

At least we can now assume that temp1 with type "diode" is where you can read the CPU temperature. We just have to figure out where it87+sensors is failing while MBM works. Can you check if you have any particular option enabled in MBM to make it work? For example "Reset sensorchip", or just anything that sounds like a special configuration parameter? If it has "Reset sensorchip" checked then I guess you want to try the reset_it87 parameter of the it87 module (just load it with "modprobe it87 reset_it87=1"). >Now for the bad part.

At this point, I'm going to update from 2.8.4 to 2.8.7 and see what >happens. Yes, please try 2.8.7. Some of the changes made to the it87 driver, most notably in the init part, may have fixed your problem as a side effect. If it still doesn't work, please provide a dump of your it87 chip (with "isadump 0x295 0x296"). Thanks, Jean Delvare
