Salut Michel,

And quite rightly so, this is indeed not acceptable that sensors -s has
to be ran twice.

Unfortunately your report isn't as complete as it would need to be for
us to help you. We would need to know:

* Which version of the Linux kernel you are using.

* If this kernel has patches applied which could affect the i2c subsystem
or the it87 driver, we need to know which they are and what they do.

* Which version of "sensors" and "libsensors" you are using.

* If lm_sensors has patches applied, we need a list.

* What is your it87-compatible chip? IT8705? IT87012F? Which revision, if
you happen to know? Is it accessed through the SMBus or as an ISA device?

* The complete sensors initialization script used.

* Which limits exactly don't get set by the first "sensors -s"? All?
Please provide the output of "sensors" before the first "sensors
-s", after the first "sensors -s" and after the second "sensors -s".

* Anything in the logs?

Please keep in mind that this is *expected* that reported alarms won't
disappear immediately after changing the limits. You will always see
them once after that, per chip design (you must not miss once-only
alarms).

Correct, I just asked our administrator to fix it. Thanks for reporting.
