I compiled/installed lm_sensors fine, and tried using
rc.modules to load the modules needed by the BP6.
When it tried loading w83781d the system hangs. If I
disable that module and load them manually after the
system boots it loads fine. I am using wmBP6 to
watch temps, and in order for it to work right, I have
to load, unload, the reload all the lm_sensor
modules. Otherwise it only shows a temp for CPU2. I
am using Slackware 7, kernel 2.2.13. Everything
worked fine for me when I was running RedHat 6.2...
Any ideas?
