Mark,
After the "journey to the deep abyss" and back - ie. diagnosing ethernet problems which involved reformatting both drives, trying v3, v2 individually and in combinations, I have discovered the temperature sensor has gone dead again.
Yeah, the non-Hijack kernels can do that -- Hijack has the necessary fixes (we think) to prevent it.
Is it your opinion that the leg of the chip can be bent up again without breaking? If it breaks, how bad off would I be? Can i just leave it broken?
Just be nice to it, and not bend it more than needed. I've done it four times now to
beater here, as part of my experiments, and the pin is still alive. If it breaks though, no big deal -- the chip would simply be dead and not affect anything else.[/quote]
If you (or anyone else) sees one go dead while running a modern Hijack kernel, we want to know about it.
EDIT:
Actually, I suppose it's possible in theory to maybe corrupt the chip just from reboot accidents, if done while software is in the midst of talking to the chip. Very unlikely, but remotely possible. Power-offs shouldn't be able to do it, but reboots.. maybe. The power pin of that chip really should have been wired to the !RESET signal instead of to Vcc3.Cheers
