RE: Re[2]: Error ...

Forgive my ignorance, but can we simply ask the lm_sensors developers to fix lm_sensors?

Personally, I'd prefer LinuxBIOS to be compatible with lm_sensors.
It's very pity to miss such a nice part of hardware as monitoring.
What's the problem with supporting it?

that's a great idea, and we should, but we should also make linuxbios able 
to handle this kind of thing. We can fix lm_sensors but linuxbios should 
tolerate arbitrary (well, almost) misbehavior from software.

thanks

Currently LinuxBIOS walks a very fine line between 3 hardware bugs.
I think it is quite possibly working as well as the hardware allows.

Unless someone knows of a magic software fix to remove all noise from
an i2c line.
