We pretend to support kernels starting from 2.4.9 but there are several changes that broke compatibility after lm_sensors 2.7.0 and you actually need a kernel >= 2.4.17. Feel free to submit fixes if you know what to do. Or you have two choices: 1* Upgrade kernel to 2.4.17. 2* Downgrade lm_sensors to 2.7.0. Good luck. -- Jean Delvare http://khali.linux-fr.org/
