Greetings!
Could you please help me to solve my problem?
I have an Asustek A7V motherboard. The system runs Fedora Core 3, which
has 2.6.9 kernel with whatever was backported on top of that and I also
installed lm_sensors 2.8.8 to address my vid readings issue. With this
setup the sensors work great, providing quite accurate
readings/controls, but my problem is with alarms. Basically it seems to
me that once any alarm is triggered, motherboard starts beeping (which
is good), but when the value gets back into the valid range (and alarm
is not shown in the sensors output anymore) motherboard still keeps
beeping. If I modify the beep_mask to stop watching the value in
question, the beep stops. Same if I disable beeping globally. But the
moment I modify the mask to include that value back and/or set
beep_enable=1, the mobo starts beeping again, even if there is no
currently an alarm triggered for this value.
I understand that the asustek chipset is in beta if ever supported, but
otherwise it works great so I was wondering if the native winbond
behaves the same way.
Besides, what I can't understand, what is actually causing this
continuous beeping - the bug in software or hardware - it looks like the
software can stop the beeping if I manipulate the mask, and there is no
alarm reported (at least through the sysfs interface) so why this damn
things keeps beeping?
Below please find the relevant portion of sensors.conf file and sensors
output. Please let me know if I could provide anything else.

# Depending on your motherboard, you have to choose between three formulae

# "I guess, that the formula "temp2 (@*30/43)+25, (@-25)*43/30" is correct
# for those Asus motherboards, which get CPU temperature from internal
# thermal diode (Pentium Coppermine, and above), and "temp2 @*2.0, @/2.0"
# is correct for Athlon/Duron boards, which use a thermistor in the
# socket."
# The third formula was found and reported by Victor G. Marimon.

# See comments above if temp3 looks bad. What works for temp2 is likely

As you can see, there is no beep's enabled in the mask right now,
because this beeping drives me crazy :) The only way to get rid of it is
to reboot.
Thank you very much in advance, I really appreciate your help.
