Hi Tomislav, Yes, you need to patch the kernel to get the vt1211 module. 1) Download the vanilla 2.6.17.8 kernel from www.kernel.org 2) Get the most recent vt1211 patch from here: http://lists.lm-sensors.org/pipermail/lm-sensors/2006-June/016329.html 3) Patch, recompile and install the new kernel and modules (make sure to enable the vt1211 under 'device drivers/hardware monitoring support') 4) Reboot using the new kernel and modprobe the vt1211 module ...juerg On 8/8/06, Tomislav Par?ina <tparcina at lama.hr> wrote: > Do I need to patch Kernel to make lm_sensors work on Fedora Core 4 (2.6.11) and Via EPIA (vt1211 chip) motherboard?
