Thanks. I'll go read about that.

Again, thanks.

Christoph,
OK, it's up and running at least in a terminal:
lightning ~ # sensors
k8temp-pci-00c3
Adapter: PCI adapter
Core0 Temp:
+43°C
it8712-isa-0290
Adapter: ISA adapter
VCore 1: +1.39 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +4.08 V)
VCore 2: +0.00 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +4.08 V) ALARM
+3.3V: +3.20 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +4.08 V)
+5V: +4.81 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +6.85 V)
+12V: +12.16 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +16.32 V)
-12V: -5.15 V (min = -27.36 V, max = +3.93 V)
-5V: -13.64 V (min = -13.64 V, max = +4.03 V) ALARM
Stdby: +4.87 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +6.85 V)
VBat: +3.09 V
fan1: 1548 RPM (min = 0 RPM, div = 8)
fan2: 0 RPM (min = 0 RPM, div = 8)
fan3: 0 RPM (min = 0 RPM, div = 8)
M/B Temp: +40°C (low = -1°C, high = +127°C) sensor = thermistor
CPU Temp: +42°C (low = -1°C, high = +127°C) sensor = thermistor
Temp3: +27°C (low = -1°C, high = +127°C) sensor = thermistor
lightning ~ #
At least now I can watch the temp this way and make sure the M/B
temp doesn't get out of line with the new passive heat sink I
installed.
Ended up that I had to do a kernel upgrade to get this working so
I'm now at 2.6.21-rc5-rt12. It had been 7 months since I'd touched the
kernel.
Thanks very much,
Mark
