In case this helps anyone. A recent kernel patch turns off sensors (lm-sensors, libsensors, etc.) if certain Asus motherboards are detected. In fact, my understanding is that the patch simply keeps the smbus hidden so sensors has nothing to access. The reason is that some Asus motherboards don't do the sensors and smbus thing properly and this can led to severe consequences and general borkage on resuming from sleep or suspend states. The workaround is to recompile the kernel with ACPI sleep off (default is on) or edit /drivers/pci/quirks.c in the kernel sources at your own risk where the relevant code for this Asus stuff is to be found. The affected motherboards are listed in the code here and seem to be only some older ones. So if you have an affected Asus board and update to, say, kernel 2.6.16.21-0.13-default and then find that sensors no longer works, this is probably why. :) Fish -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
