(Both had to be > patched to compile and for both I used the same patch.) lol..indeed the problem is something that was introduced into the kernel at 2.6.13-rc1 - a change by myself :-). The sysfs callbacks need to be updated (you should have got warnings complaining of an invalid function pointer when you compiled the module) for newer kernels, I'll fix that now, and commit it to CVS so you can try it out tomorrow, and I will try to test this out on my own machines tonight too. I'm not paying much attention to bmcsensors at the moment because I'm busier trying to get changes into the kernel so that I can re-write the driver (ipmi-sensors) and get it included in mainline. Thanks, Yani
