We'll try to get you there, no problem. My stand-alone driver above has two issues. Firstly it is over two and a half years old, so it is missing a lot of the recent development. Thankfully these seem to be mostly cleanups. I should be able to update the driver to match what is in kernel 3.11. Secondly, it was only tested down to kernel version 2.6.32. Anything older than that may break, and that's what is happening to you I presume. Please let me know which exact kernel version you have to use and I'll try to add the missing compatibility glue. -- Jean Delvare _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
