You need to at least configure your kernel. If it's a redhat kernel, then there is probably a reasonable default config. 'cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.7-10' and do a 'make xconfig' (or menuconfig, or config) and leave the settings as the defaults and save the config. It creates the .config file and also creates some symlinks to include files which are needed for your specific hardware. If that kernel source isn't the exact which was used to make your running kernel, then you'll have troubles getting the modules to work. In that case, you won't be able to get around configuring and building the kernel, rebooting, and then building lm-sensors. Phil On Tue, Nov 20, 2001 at 01:59:41AM -0800, Phillip Pi wrote: > Hi.
