Depends on the distribution. Sometimes it's enough to add: blacklist thermal to /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf, but sometimes init scripts actively load the thermal driver, so you have to hack them or at least edit distro-specific config files. > What is bad about "thermal" driver? > Conflict? Yes. The thermal driver will access the same I/O ports as the w83627ehf driver, without any synchronization between them, so very bad things can happen. -- Jean Delvare _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@lm-sensors.org http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
