The previous ones were: Feb 13 00:31:18 coyote kernel: Driver 'w83627hf' needs updating - please use bus_type methods Feb 13 00:36:20 coyote kernel: Driver 'w83627hf' needs updating - please use bus_type methods
Two quick reboots there, the first one would have been rc2, I forgot to update grub.conf :(
which would have been booted to rc2 and 3, not rc4. I believe they started at rc1 but I won't swear to that. gkrellm and sensors are both working albeit sensors is saying C for the diode in the cpu when it should be F
gkrellm-2.28 is displaying it correctly though.
So apparently something has been updated with rc4?
