Description of problem: The /etc/sensors.conf file uses wrong voltage limits for the Asus K7M motherboard. This results in beeping as soon as 'sensors -s' is executed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): lm_sensors-2.9.2-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start lm_sensors service 2. 3. Actual results: System starts beeping due to wrong voltage limit settings in sensors.conf Expected results: Correct voltage limits used, no ALARM goes off. Additional info: This issue became apparent only after kernel-2.6.16-1.2133_FC5, since only then the beep function started working.

This is not a bug, lm_sensors is not a plug and play package and might never be. In order for it todo anything you must manually run sensors-detects, you are also expected to manually edit your /etc/sensors.conf after this to match your hardware.
