Harry: (cc'ed to sensors mailing list) I do not have personal experience using mkpatch; I find it very easy to build everything as modules. However, it looks to me like you built everything correctly. > I then need to do a configure, make deps, make BZImage, etc, correct? Yes of course. Did sensors-detect find an I2C or SMBus? The ASUS sensor chip requires one. A quick look at asus.com says your board has Intel 82801BA (ICH2), which is supported. Send me the output of sensors-detect if you're still having problems.
