[mythtv-users] OT: lm_sensors on 7NIF2 mobo

I know I've seen a few folks on this list that are using the Chaintech
7NIF2 motherboard for myth systems.  I've got one and I've been
beating my head against the wall for a while now trying to get gkrellm
to report the correct CPU temp using lm_sensors.  I'm running a
2.4.22-1.2199.nptl_52 kernel from atrpms with the latest i2c and
lm_sensors (and corresponding kernel modules) installed and the
following modules are loaded:

i2c-dev
i2c-nforce2
i2c-isa
lm90
it87

The lm_sensors service is started (apparently correctly) at boot time
and sensors reports a bunch of data (including correct CPU fan speed),
but all of the temp readings fluctuate wildly.  I'm talking values of
-14 Celsius one second and a few seconds later values of 0, 35 or even
50 Celsius!!!  Obviously my CPU is not running at either -14 or 50 so
something's up with the sensors, but I just can't figure it out.  Does
anyone have lm_sensors playing nicely with the 7NIF2?

Sorry for the OT post, but I think quite a few folks are using this
board so I thought someone here might have some insight.

Thanks,
Brad
