We were just ending our massive interface rework, so file names were changing much. See this page for the correct matching: http://www2.lm-sensors.nu/~lm78/kernel26.html Beware that distributions often lie about kernel versions. A 2.6.N-rc kernel will most likely be labelled 2.6.(N-1), so if a given combination doesn't work, you have to try with the next version of lm_sensors. The interface has now (almost) stabilised so the trouble with versions has gone now. So if you upgrade both kernel and lm_sensors you're safe. -- Jean Delvare http://khali.linux-fr.org/
