It's part of the rpms: # rpm -ql kernel-module-lm_sensors-2.4.22-1.2199.nptl_52.rhfc1.at-2.8.7-0_32.rhfc1.at|grep bmc /lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2199.nptl_52.rhfc1.at/updates/drivers/i2c/chips/bmcsensors.o but the original poster did mention kernel 2.6. > We don't make the RPMs. > If you're running 2.6 then wait until the port is finished and included in > the kernel.
