> If I try to compile it as a module, (which i?d rather not do) I > get this error [...] I was able to compile the i2c-piix4.o module without a warning by adding "dmi_scan.o" to the end of the "export-objs" declaration, in i2c-2.6.5/mkpatch/mkpatch.pl (line #549), then using the "Patching the kernel" method (compilation option 3).
