Hello Steven, > Can anyone give a few pointers on what the status of the > drivers are in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 2? > This distro advertises a kernel of 2.6.9-22.0.1 > and the lm_sensors userspace rpm that ships with it > claims to be lm_sensors 2.8.7. > > Does anyone know if Red Hat has in fact patched their > kernel with newer i2c/lm_sensors stuff and kept the version > numbers the same, as they often do?

I happen to know w83792d driver did not in the RHEL UP2, Rudolf has some backport which can be found here: http://www.assembler.cz/download/w83792d/ But it needs a little modification when using on RHEL4 UP2 (2.6.9-22). I have a version that can work on RHEL4 UP2 (2.6.9-22), but it won't work if the drivers it depends on are not with RHEL UP2. I would send it to you if you want try.
