As above, version 2.8.7 . I downloaded it yesterday using : http://www.lm-sensors.nu/archive/lm_sensors-2.8.7.tar.gz > If the sensors-detect script searches for /dev/i2c/0, it means that it > detected that your system uses devfs. Is it true? *blush* yes, it does.

When I insmod i2c-viapro, devfs doesn't create any new devices. However, after reading your response this morning, I removed all the i2c devices I created, rmmodded all i2c modules except i2c-core and i2c-dev and reran sensors-detect. The same message appeared: Can't open /dev/i2c/0 but I continued with the config process, ran sensors and voila! works perfectly. Now that I have it working, lm_sensors will be installed on all of a client's servers (+- 200) and will be used to provide valuable, hitherto inaccessible information about the state of their cpus and fans. If this is successful, as I'm sure it will be, it is intended to roll out lm_sensors to some of our other clients too. Please accept an apology for my hasty assumption and thanks for a great and essential tool! - -- Stuart Logie Programmer UNIVERSAL COMPUTER SERVICES (PTY) LTD Powered by Debian GNU/Linux -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iQCVAwUBQO5usOuEbVzzghHCAQLYQwP+N58iMkO3fOMXWAXF7EQgabxycOJ5HB+6 Td3TDV52AoSIQUFeCteWB1dodv6/3/kIsFYLWD7V/AhYpux5w0xtArW7ye0C+vUA NPsCuMBVMW6xxU9PthjxdKu6cblF2XIyPLg5tk2tncTQ3MkN8ZpgAnWJMytIRK3G ZQfbJIUJwsY= =E7dH -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
