Hi all !
On a 2.4 kernel, the sensors program displays an error message when in
can't open the /proc/sys/dev/sensors/. It suggests to load the i2c-proc
module. However the problem could also comes from the CONFIG_SYSCTL
parameter which is not enabled in the kernel.
The attached patch make the error message a little more verbose. Please
feel free to apply it or not.
Cheers,
Aurelien
