The configuration information for a Tyan Tiger MPX S2466-4M motherboard provided at http://www.tyan.com/archive/support/html/software_utilities.html(direct link: ftp://ftp.tyan.com/software/lms/lms_s2466.tgz) does *not* function with lm_sensors 3.x. As far as I can tell, the instructions provided cannot have worked at any point since somewhere late in the 2.x series, notably because the two sensor chips are now supported by two different modules. As of Ubuntu 8.10 (lm_sensors 3.0.2, linux kernel 2.6.27) the optimal configuration for this motherboard with BIOS 4.06 appears to be to load the two modules in question (w83781d & w83627hf) with the "init=0" module option and allow the pre-programmed limits to propagate from the BIOS. Obviously if anyone has any idea what the various temperature max & hysterisys values actually should be, they can be programmed into /etc/sensors.conf instead. I haven't been able to detect any other difference between using "init=1" and "init=0". Contrary to Tyan's supplied instructions & config file, no module parameters at all are required on my system - and presumably this would apply to any 2.6.x kernel, but I'm not about to test that exhaustively. See attached sensors.conf for a version that actually works (reasonably) well on my S2466-4M. (Would some kind soul please create a new ticket in the lm_sensors TRAC system so the next sucker with one of these doesn't spend an entire evening figuring this out from scratch again?
