When you compile the kernel modules from the i2c or lm_sensors2 packages, you will need to have the kernel source available and configured for the target system. IOW, the i2c and lm_sensors2 modules build differently (686 vs. athlon) because the kernel source on the systems is configured differently. (At least, that's what I speculate is happening in your case.) I don't think there's any way to reliably build the modules to work in both, unless your base kernel is also configured for that (e.g. the RedHat -i386 builds), but that's probably not what you really want. I hope that helps; Regards, -- Mark M. Hoffman mhoffman at lightlink.com
