I tried the isa-bus configuration but got 'no sensors found' for that. Oh well, it's not that compelling a problem for me to invest a lot of energy in it right now ;)
On Mandrake 9.1, with lm_sensors-2.7.0-2mdk, I have run sensors-detect and accepted the default settings. The oddity is that the sensors command, or gkrellm, or ksensors only show the value (at least for temps, which is obvious) that exists at boot time. In other words, first boot on a cool morning will show a relatively low temp that does not change throughout the session. Subsequent boots will show a, logically, warmer temp that, also, does not vary. This has been the case from the stock kernel through the current 2.4.21-0.18mm-mdk. I've just noticed the following message in syslog and wonder if it suggests some clue to anyone?

Check out /usr/share/doc/lm_sensors-2.7.0/doc/FAQ, #4.11. I haven't messed with lm_sensors for a while, but can't you use the ISA bus for some chips? I think the option is mentioned during the sensors-detect routine.
Good Luck, Arn
