Can you please provide the output of: isadump -f 0x290 16 We had reports that the latest revisions of the IT8712F do not pass some legacy test: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4335 http://archives.andrew.net.au/lm-sensors/msg29962.html Maybe that's your case. If it is, know that a fix has already been applied to the driver: http://archives.andrew.net.au/lm-sensors/msg29992.html But it'll take some time to reach Linus' tree, of course. It's already in -mm though. -- Jean Delvare
