I actually have the lm90 working by installing the version from cvs. It reads the diode off the processor and is a much more accurate temp.

Also, on the Soyo, I only got accurate readings by specifying a socket type when modprobing the driver. the differnet types are in the docs, but I figured out the Soyo is type 38. The voltages are a little messy too. This can be fixed by making a few changes to the sensors.conf file, but I haven't taken the time to figure out the adjustments and do it. Here are the relevant lines that I added to my rc.local file. # I2C adapter drivers modprobe i2c-isa modprobe i2c-viapro # I2C chip drivers modprobe it87 temp_type=0x38 modprobe lm90 > I rewrote the lmsensors init script so that it was manually loading the > modules rather than pulling them from the /etc/sysconfig/lmsensors file.

Yes, that is correct. -- /g "Outside of a dog, a man's best friend is a book, inside a dog it's too dark to read" -Groucho Marx
