I cannot get the CPU temp to update, from cold (after being powered down overnight for example) sensors will report a temp of approx 16-17c and it will not move. If I run for a while and reboot, CPU temp will then show something like 45-50c and again it will not move. In both cases this is similar to the temp reported by BIOS as the system boots. I think I have shown the relevant information below. Any suggestions will be gratefully received. Thank you in anticipation John Clarke lm_sensors2.9.0 -2mdk kernel 2.6.8.1-12mdk Processor AMD Athlon 2400xp Jetway V266B mainboard output of lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc.
