Unfortunatly I'm not using a self compiled vanilla kernel but maybe I can quickly compile one tomorrow or so (after a math examination). I have now changed the configuration to first load the w83l785ts module and then the asb100 module, after a few reboots I'll see if it helped. I will report if it does. >>BTW: I had to change pwmconfig a bit for it to detect the fanX_pwm >>lines of the asb100. In it s current state it only finds pwmX .
