My guess > is, beside of the it87 it's just the pc87360 - am I right? Yes you are. But what are you trying to do in the first place? If you are using kernel 2.6.18, then just stick to lm-sensors 2.10.x and you're done. Nobody is forcing you to upgrade, and lm-sensors 2.10.x is still maintained as far as security issues and bugs are concerned. -- Jean Delvare
