It's great that 2.8.0 is already in Cooker :) However, I'm not sure it'll be sufficent for an out-of-the-box installation of lm_sensors CVS. We have a new function (i2c_delay) in i2c CVS, which is used by some (most) bus drivers in lm_sensors CVS, so I guess you'll have some problems here. I'd recommend that you install i2c CVS prior to lm_sensors CVS. If Cooker's kernel is already patched, i2c CVS should install like a charm and will not cause any problem to other, and lm_sensors CVS will then work OK too. > I'll let you know how it goes. Yes, please do :) Thanks. -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
