If 2.9.0 actually works, and 2.10.0 doesn't, then a change must have broken it - even though I just can't think of any. 2.9.0 is r2809, 2.10.0 is r3256. You will converge after 11 iterations, should be fast enough. > > upgraded my linux kernel from 2.6.9-34 to 2.6.9-42. In this new > > version there is an i2c sensors update.
