It seems to fix this. I thought 2.9.0 had fixed the problem? I'm a bit surprised that Aurelien's patch would help with sensors. Supposedly the problem is the lack of binary compatibility between i2c 2.9.0 and in-kernel i2c. If you use lm_sensors 2.9.0 then you must use i2c 2.9.0 as well, so what Aurelien's patch would address are problems with in-kernel, non-sensors i2c stuff such as media/video drivers. -- Jean Delvare
