You've got the right person here. I'm CCing the lm-sensors list so
that this information will be publicly available. So it would be easy
to just add 0xffff as a chip ID and forget about it -- but somehow,
that doesn't seem like a valid chip ID to me. So I'm going to treat it
as some kind of bug and try to get your motherboard to report a
different chip ID. That's just my initial guess...

Would you mind providing the following information?

Kernel version

Motherboard manufacturer and model number

sensors version

Full output of sensors-detect.pl

Any additional clues -- what caused the failure? Did you upgrade to
linux 2.6.21, or is this new hardware ... ?

Thanks for the report!
David
