I'm using the gentoo-sources kernel version 2.4.22-gentoo-r5. I believe it has a patch that breaks the "sensors -s" functionality.
See support ticket #1564 on the lm_sensors page: http://www2.lm-sensors.nu/~lm78/readticket.cgi?ticket=1564 Essentially, when I try to run "sensors -s", even as root, I get the following message: it87-isa-0290: Canīt access /proc file for writing; Run as root? On the suggestion of the lm_sensors support team, I compiled a vanilla 2.4.24 kernel. Under this kernel, I was able to run sensors -s. The lm_sensors folks are guessing that the problem is caused by one of the gentoo kernel patches. For what it's worth, the problem also seems to plague users using a Debian kernel. Is there anywhere I can get a list of patches applied to the gentoo-sources kernel? Has anyone else experienced similar problems, and perhaps figured out what is specifically causing the problem?
