It looks like you are using the defaults in sensors.conf, which are probably not correct for your mainboard. Please take a look at the sensors.conf man page and documentation on lm-sensors.org and then edit your config file as necessary. If you run into trouble while doing this, then feel free to come back to the list with specific questions. BTW: I have no idea why the alarms are reported now, if they weren't before. It almost doesn't matter, because your config file clearly needs to be edited anyway. Regards, -- Mark M. Hoffman mhoffman at lightlink.com
