You can hide them by using the following lines in /etc/sensors.conf: ignore temp3 ignore temp4 Make sure to add these in the asb100-* section. > To load everything that is needed, add this to some /etc/rc* file: > > Which file? there are many folders and files. > > #----cut here---- > # I2C adapter drivers > modprobe i2c-nforce2 > # I2C chip drivers > modprobe asb100 > modprobe smbus-arp > modprobe eeprom > # sleep 2 # optional > /usr/local/bin/sensors -s # recommended > #----cut here---- > > > I think that this may be why its not recognizing my changes, becuase it > doesnt know where in the conf file to look?

Which folder and file do I add too? The exact thing to do depends on the distribution, which is why sensors-detect cannot give more details. If your distribution has a file named /etc/rc.d/rc.local, the most simple solution is to put the lines there. That's what I do. Else, if your distribution has an /etc/sysconfig directory, then you should let sensors-detect write its configuration file here (it should ask you), then get the lm_sensors.init script in lm_sensors2/prog/init and copy it to /etc/rc.d/init.d. Then you should be able to enable the execution at boot time by using the chkconfig command of Mandrake. This only holds if you installed lm_sensors manually. If you installed it from Mandrake packages, then the init script should already be present in /etc/rc.d/init.d, and all you need to do is create the config file with sensors-detect, and maybe activate the script by using chkconfig. Check the manual page of chkconfig for details about how you need to run it to enable services at boot time. I cannot tell more since I am not using a Mandrake or a similar distribution myself. Hopefully you'll figure out the rest by yourself. Jean
