Problem: i2c-proc w/o sysctl support

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Dear Developers,
when I tried to use i2c and lm_sensors, it mysteriously failed for me - of
course, for me only, like usual.
Loading i2c-proc.o resulted in out-of-memory error, with the usual
modprobe/insmod explanation about wrong irqs or io ports. Looking at the
code an debugging, I found out that register_sysctl_table fails. Fittingly,
/proc/sys did not exist. Syctl-support was not compiled into the kernel.

Resume:
If syctl is not supported, i2c-proc.c does not really do anything. Still, it
should either load silently and keep silent or check for CONFIG_SYSCTL=y
when compiling. None of the i2c-modules can live w/o it.

thanks,
Sebastian Brandt
