yeah, I messed up a bit. i2c-dev is indeed a module and I didn't modprobe it before I ran sensors-detect. But doesn't make much difference. I re-ran the sensors-detect and this time I asked it to load the i2c-dev. Didn't find any chip this time either. I am running 2.6.18-rc4. -Sunil On 8/31/06, Jean Delvare <khali at linux-fr.org> wrote: > > Hi Sunil, > > > $ sensors-detect > > # sensors-detect revision 1.413 (2006/01/19 20:28:00) > > > > This program will help you determine which I2C/SMBus modules you need to > > load to use lm_sensors most effectively.
