--- Comment #7 from Zeev Tarantov <[email protected]> 2009-08-17 14:55:15 --- So the intent was to break lm_sensors in 2.6.30, but because of a bug it continued to work as the user expects and will only break in 2.6.31. Users who want to keep using lm_sensors on boards that do not spontaneously shutdown due to conflict between lm_sensors and the BIOS (this I believe is a majority of users) will need to add a kernel boot parameter to signal the paranoid kernel that their computer is sane, or if they're ASUS users they can switch to the "ASUS ATK0110 ACPI hwmon" driver (http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=125043293401414). I suppose lm_sensors team can add this workaround to the installation documentation, and all distros will just ship a patch that adds the boot parameter if a non-ACPI hwmon driver is required for the computer, and if a user has spontaneous shutdown syndrome they'll be told by tech support to disable the boot parameter and live without temperature monitoring and/or complain to manufacturer to get BIOS/linux driver for ACPI hwmon. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
