Let me make sure I have this correct - lm-sensor would then have to put a value
into a register in the hardware-sensor-chip and then the chip creates the alarm?

I'm wondering if it is really just one chip - I tried commenting out one at a time to see if somehow 
appearing twice was the problem. I think it may be a host image due to incomplete hard ware encoding.


This is a Tyan S2865

In case there is something being misidentified I have the spec sheet link here:

ftp://ftp.tyan.com/datasheets/d_s2865_100.pdf


The lm-config from tyan has:

#To your etc/modules.conf file, add the lines:
# 	alias char-major-89 i2c-dev
#
# To your /etc/rc.xxx files, add the lines:
# 	modprobe i2c-nforce2
# 	modprobe lm85 force_emc6d100=0,0x2e
# sensors -s #

# As LM-Sensors not support the SMSC DME1737 Chip, I use the SMSC
# EMC6D100 chip to instead of it and the sensor 3.3V StandBy and
# Battery Volt cannot be monitored.

They then use
chip "emc6d100-*"

But this was from 2005.. I don't think it is right for todays version??
