The reason is both historical (obviously) and > technical (2.6 drivers are not part of the package). Ahh, guess I found it confusing, as the source is in the 2.6 tree. I assumed it was all part of the same project. Written by the same folks, but not part of the LM Sensors project? Or is it a 2.4 module being compiled for a 2.6 kernel? > But I agree that updating the docs as time permits would be great. > Another approach would be to add chip documentation to the 2.6 kernel. Either do one and make the other point to the first, or do both. Whichever is possible or practical. I am not very familiar with the LM Sensors project, or with the kernel project from the point of view of a patch submitter. So sorry for any confusion. > Care to provide this documentation update as a patch we could apply to > the CVS repository? Thanks.

I've applied that patch to my debian 2.6.8-5 source (noticed your was 2.6.9-rc1), and generated a new diff, and diffed the diffs, and line numbers were off by one, but there was no stray code... so I assumed it was a clean enough patch. I've compiled with this, and seems to be working fine. The key point was for me to disable "Dalayed Transactions" between ISA<->PCI. I should test LM Sensors on my other systems as I get a chance: ASUS K7V-T, ASUS A7N8X-Deluxe. My P5A was rev 1.03, and I also have rev 1.04 and 1.06. I also have K7V, and A7N8X boards, and may test them if I don't sell them first. These should all be very similar to my active system boards though. Leif
