You probably forgot the "-p1" option to patch, or gave a bad value to it. Typically, you have to move inside the /usr/src/linux-2.4.22 directory and use "patch -p1 < /path/to/linux-2.4.22-i2c-2.8.1.patch" > My question is, after I recompile this new kernel with the > patch do I have to reinstall both i2c and lm-sensors or just > lm-sensors?

Lm-sensors should be sufficent, providing you did not only patch your kernel but also configure it so that it will build the required modules (i2c-core is obviously already there if you use bttv, but you also need at least i2c-proc and preferably i2c-dev too). If this was done, you can install lm-sensors directly. Note that you should edit the Makefile to have the I2C_HEADERS variable point to $(LINUX_HEADERS) (this is simply a line to uncomment). That said, you can also install both i2c and lm-sensors as before, if will work too. > Again I am sorry to bother you with this, and if you could > point me in the direction of a message board I would glady post it > there instead so I wouldn't waste your time.
