There are at least two patches since 2.6.12 that I think might solve it. But you won't need to rebuild a kernel to find out. Just add this line to /etc/modules.conf: options w83627hf init=0 Unfortunately, it will take a reboot for this to take effect. (The driver already overwrote whatever BIOS inits were performed, the only way to get them back is to "run" the BIOS.) I suggest the init=0 module option because it will make your (older) version of the driver behave more like the default of the latest version - especially with respect to the two patches that I think might solve it. Or, you could just upgrade your kernel to something like 2.6.14 or later. > Mark M.

Other questions: does 'sensors -s' appear anywhere in your init scripts? Are you happy with the output of 'sensors', or do you want to dive into its config a bit to get better info? If you're only interested in CPU temperature via some KDE program, then what you have is good enough. PS: I'll be AFK Sat 10th, able to reply again 11th Regards, -- Mark M.
