Hi David,

That grep wont help much, as it is nouveau (with an added u),
not noveau.

Right now I have no idea what may be different. 13.4 is the 3.8 kernel
if I remember correctly, and 13.10 should be 3.11. I did a quick diff
in the relevant drivers but did not see anything that might cause
the problem.

To find out what exactly is hanging, you might try something like

cd /sys/class/hwmon
for d in *
do
(echo $d:
cd $d
if [ ! -f name ]
then
cd device
fi
ls
grep . *
)
done

The last line of output should show the attribute causing the hang,
or rather the one accessed before it.
