I'm CCing the lm-sensors list so that this information will be publicly available. So it would be easy to just add 0xffff as a chip ID and forget about it -- but somehow, that doesn't seem like a valid chip ID to me. So I'm going to treat it as some kind of bug and try to get your motherboard to report a different chip ID. That's just my initial guess... Would you mind providing the following information? Kernel version Motherboard manufacturer and model number sensors version Full output of sensors-detect.pl Any additional clues -- what caused the failure? Did you upgrade to linux 2.6.21, or is this new hardware ... ? Thanks for the report! David
