False IBM Laptop detection - PIIX4 (440BX) - IBM 300PL 6892-N2U Tower desktop - lm_sensors 2.7.0 /w 2.4.20

[Shawn Starr]

I have an IBM 300PL 6892-N2U just picked it up yesterday but lm_sensors 2.7.0 
refuses to load anything!

I am using a Tower desktop not a laptop unless this is a defunked bios?

Let me know what info you need from me.

Shawn.

 Sorry, we won't let you go on. IBM systems are known to have
 serious problems with lm_sensors, resulting in hardware failures.
