Actually that's precicely what I just did, i'm running 2.6.22-3 from backports now, but so far i'm not any better for trying. Now when i run sensors i get the following error:
w83627dhg-i2c-9191-290 ERROR: Can't get adapter or algorithm?!? So new question: What do i do now? :/ On Feb 12, 2008 9:24 PM, Andrew Sackville-West < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Tue, Feb 12, 2008 at 08:21:26PM -0500, Patrick Zaloum wrote: > > I have a modern motherboard (Asus p5kc) running Etch-r2.
