Humm, I've been building both 2.4.22-pre's and 2.6.0-test2 here and it gets confusing at times. But basicly, in the 2.4.22-pre10 tree, i2c-viapro seems to have disappeared. If I build in the i2c-2.7.0 tree (and in the lm_sensors-2.7.0 tree, both externally but in my compiler driver script as a ps to making the targeted kernel, it all works with some of the i2c stuff in the kernel turned on, this for kernel 2.4.22-pre8. Skip to pre10, and the viapro module is gone for both 2.7.0 and 2.8.0 builds of both, and 2.8.0 gives me lots of depmod errors, so I've reverted to the 2.7.0 family when trying the last couple of 2.4.22-pre10 builds. Q's: In the i2c dir tree there is a mkpatch, but unless I'm getting blind in my old age, I cannot find any howto instructs to use just in case the 2.7.0 (or the 2.8.0) versions are newer than whats in the 2.4.22-pre10 tree. Since 2.7.0 is getting a bit long in the tooth now, I need my perception of whats what sorted out, so be my guest and sort me out if you have the time. In the meantime, I'll ignore Gregs stuff in terms of the 2.4 kernel, and use it as its added to the 2.6 tree, which I cannot use just yet, something has broken my scsi cards driver, advansys.c, by deprecating the check_region() call. This IIRC is the same function that causes the build of lm_sensors-2.8.0 to fail at the nforce.c build. Like I said, its a bit hard to keep them straight in my 68 year old head. -- Cheers, Gene AMD K6-III at 500mhz 320M Athlon1600XP at 1400mhz 512M 99.27% setiathome rank, not too shabby for a WV hillbilly Yahoo.com attornies please note, additions to this message by Gene Heskett are: Copyright 2003 by Maurice Eugene Heskett, all rights reserved.
