...yup, cool. (This should also work with 'fakeroot' instead of 'sudo', or even with '--root_cmd=fakeroot'.) > In the config, I chose to compile i2c as a module.

I think lm-sensors 2.7.x requires i2c 2.7.0 or newer, but kernel 2.4.21 only has i2c 2.6.1. You might run into problems when things actually start working because of the version mismatch, if modprobe finds the kernel modules before the i2c-source modules; see, for example, http://bugs.debian.org/179236. > The compilation succeeds, and I find the two packages correctly built in > /usr/src. > > I then install the packages, and run sensors-detect which should configure > everything for me; however, this fails because > > modprobe: Can't locate module i2c-viapro > modprobe: Can't locate module i2c-riva > modprobe: Can't locate module i2c-dev > > The modules are installed by the packages in > > /lib/modules/2.4.20-k7-fb/lm-sensors > > and in > > /lib/modules/2.4.20-k7-fb/misc Have you at this point rebooted to run the 2.4.20-k7-fb kernel? Otherwise sensors-detect isn't going to be able to load modules for the old kernel, and you'll lose in pretty much this way. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
