only telling about worst stupidity.
if my -12 were REALLY -1.47, I dont think my system would work at all. Using 
(min =  +3.93 V, max =  +2.95 V)
is wrong sign, and using stupid values to compare -12 with ... 
please check all constants and correction factors.

Its ok about my fans.

I have no module; every thing is hard linked in kernel.

lm_sensors-2.10.0
Comment 2 DEMAINE Benoît-Pierre, aka DoubleHP 2006-05-12 23:13:04 UTC
this is problem to me because system log messages got loads of unrevealant ALARMS about voltages and temperatures.

You did run 'sensors -s' yes? (it's also run by the init script).

If you did, please read /etc/sensors.conf.
Depending on your motherboard, you may need to uncomment an alternative section in that file.

Lastly, if none of that works, submit a patch for sensors.conf, and tell us what motherboard you have.

I had read about all that yesterday, and wrote it in my todolist, but forgot it today. PEBCAK.

Yes there is a note for K7S5A: 2 lines should be commented and 2 other ones uncommented.

Actual alarms still strange:

VCore 1:   +1.74 V  (min =  +1.42 V, max =  +1.57 V)   ALARM
+12V:     +12.86 V  (min = +11.39 V, max = +12.61 V)   ALARM
-12V:     -12.15 V  (min = -12.61 V, max = -11.40 V)   ALARM
-5V:       -4.57 V  (min =  -5.29 V, max =  -4.75 V)   ALARM

I know my supply is cheap ... but isnt -12.21 between -12.61 and -11.40 ?

I dont think you are to fix this ... resolving WONTFIX.
