[lm-sensors] lmsensors in 2.6.16 on a Tyan 2882-D motherboard,

[r.marek@sh.cvut.cz (Rudolf Marek)]

Hello,

Ah sorry about that. We are now in process of setting new wiki-based
website at http://www.lm-sensors.org/trac

Feel free to improve it.

This should work without problems imho.

It may happen, Raphael what is your oppinion about this?

MAybe you have chosen some DDR voltage offset in BIOS? I guess
the 2.6 should be OK maybe they used some not so precise resistors
in the divider so this might explain the skew too. (Or the machine
is too hot and resitor skew too)

I think this should be 50% of DDR 2.5, and because you have 1st higher
this is also bit higher.

Here are some strage limits. They are not set in the config file and they should
similar way as for the first chip. Raphael I would suggest to fix this
in your config file.

The fan limits can be set by you to correct values (depends on your fan anyway)

The voltage wiring is manufacturer specific so it is expected that
this will have more problems.
