Please take a look at ticket #1817: http://www2.lm-sensors.nu/~lm78/readticket.cgi?ticket=1817 Looks exactly like your problem. Mandrake too. Isn't by any chance your webforum Mandrake-related? I really want to see the output of "strace sensors -s" for users having the problem. It would also be very interesting to see if Mandrake applied some patches to lm_sensors when building the RPM. Thanks, Jean
