I just tried building my i2c bus and hwmon drivers into the kernel (still has modules enabled for the rest of the drivers) and it worked fine for me. In general it should work, however you should keep in mind that the most frequent use of lm-sensors is with modular drivers so the built-in case doesn't get much testing, isn't supported by sensors-detect, and may not be supported by your distribution either. One problem that can happen is that your distribution initialization script for the lm-sensors service wants at least one module to load, otherwise it decides that configuration wasn't done and it will bail out. This would prevent limits from being set at boot time, but "sensors" would still print the right thing (which doesn't seem to be the case for you?) A second problem would be that you included in your kernel hwmon drivers which you don't need. Probing for hwmon devices on the SMBus can be tricky, and we have seen misdetections happen. A midetection could cause the wrong driver to bind to your device, depending on the driver probing order. A probe sequence for device A could also confuse device B, even though we make our best to avoid this. If you want us to help, you'll have to provide more technical details. Which kernel version are you running? Which hardware monitoring devices do you have? Which drivers did you build into the kernel exactly? If you can share your .config file, this will help. Do you see anything under /sys/class/hwmon? -- Jean Delvare _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
