Hey Jean, I succeeded in compiling and testing 2.6.22-rc3 with your submitted patches. It does not seem to work. Maybe I'm doing something wrong here, or am overlooking something really big? I am quite new to this, after all. I will patch a new and clean kernel tomorrow and compile it again, just to make sure I didn't mess anything up (which might be the case). Is it possible for you to send the patches as attachment? Seems like my mailclient messed them up the first time, so I might have messed it up trying to get them to work (even though it didn't give any errors the last time I patched..) ;/. It also doesn't give errors upon modprobing. So far my output: -- [root at localhost detect]# uname -r 2.6.22-rc3 [root at localhost detect]# sensors No sensors found! Make sure you loaded all the kernel drivers you need. Try sensors-detect to find out which these are.
