But the best fix in your case would be to disable probing of the I2C bus entirely, as apparently you don't need it. Just set i2c_adapter.class to 0 (_not_ I2C_CLASS_HWMON) and you're done. As a side note, the lm73 driver could certainly be improved to make detection less problematic. I'll do that now, but I do not consider this the proper fix to your problem. -- Jean Delvare _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
