I think you can update the kernel and the kernel tools without updating the whole system. I don't know SuSE, but all other distributions I know (Slackware, Red Hat, Debian) let the user do so. > But I do not understand why the parse error has something to do with > my kernel source. We do include some header files from linux/include, which define some structures or types we use in our code. If these definitions are "wrong" (or at least, are not what we think they are) it can annoy the compiler enough to lead to the result you had. And I doubt we'll change our code to make it compile with the early 2.4 kernel sources. > It's is not neccessary to install lm_sensors 2.7.0 because my hardware > is supported by the older version of lm_sensors.

Yes, should work also. -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
