hello, I currently run the slackware 9.1 ( with original kernel 2.4.22 ) I heard about the new lm_sensors release (2.8.4) and also the i2c patch for kernel 2.4.22 in order to bring i2c system up to 2.8.4 version "Patch set for the 2.4.22 kernel (i2c-2.8.4):" so I patched the original kernel 2.4.22 source with that patch, and recompiled with same options that went well before, the kernel booted correctly, I re-installed alsa driver (v0.9.6), as there are not in kernel 2.4.xx by default, but when running 'depmod -a' I had plenty of unresolved symbols which were dealing only with alsa drivers !!! so I wonder if this is due to the patch, which means incompatibility between i2c 2.8.4 and alsa v0.9.6, or I did not choose right options !! that is to note I did the same with previous i2c2.8.2 patch and everything went well ( even after re-installing alsa) I did not know that alsa needed i2c, so I was really not expecting this kind of pbs, ******** I have some ideas to remedy the pb, like recompiling a new version of alsa, but before I would have liked your advices : what do you think the pb is and what would you do ? The point is that patch for i2c2.8.2 is no more available ( or I did not notice it) so that I cannot install another version of lm_sensors !!! best regards edouard -- *-----------------------------------------------------------------* | Edouard DEBRY | | Ph-D student at E.N.P.C - C.E.R.E.A http://www.enpc.fr/cerea/ | | | | 21 Rue Nobel, Cit?
