Hello,
kernel 2.4 doesn't work on my computer
(no networking because sis648/sis900),
The procfs stuffs are /* commented */,
I looked at differencies in via686a.c and it87.c betweens 2.4 and 2.6
to port sis5595.c, so if
via686a/it87 aren't good in 2.6 ... :(,
I lost my time.
have a look :
[root at hal9003 SiS 5595]# uname -a
Linux hal9003.1g6.biz 2.6.0-test1 #15 mar jui 15...
[root at hal9003 SiS 5595]# pwd
/sys/bus/i2c/drivers/SiS 5595 (apparently not totally wrong)
[root at hal9003 proc]# find /proc -iname "*sis*"
/proc/ide/sis

496 device_create_file(&new_client->dev, &dev_attr_fan_min2);
497 device_create_file(&new_client->dev, &dev_attr_fan_div2);
498 //device_create_file(&new_client->dev, &dev_attr_in_input0);

I didn't know for the misdetection problem, and I just
wanted "cat /sys/..", doesn't mind about libraries...
Regards.
Nicolas.
