Kernel 2.6.23.1 is very old.

Err, no, mkpatch was to generate kernel patches for the 2.4 kernel series and earlier. Since kernel 2.6 everything you need is already in the kernel tree so you don't have to patch anything. My advice: use a more recent kernel. 3.0.75 would be a minimum for me, or 2.6.34.14 if you really have to. Use a more recent version of lm-sensors too. For v2.6/v3 kernels, lm-sensors 3.x is highly recommended, lm-sensors 2.x will lack support for most devices. And then if it still doesn't work, tell us in more details what doesn't work and how it does fail. Just "it doesn't work" isn't something we can help anyone with. -- Jean Delvare _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
