RHEL 5 comes with kernel 2.6.18, which isn't exactly recent. I very much doubt a significant share of users dare to use a brand new kernel on such an old distribution. And if they do, then there are several packages which need to be updated (udev, kernel-firmware...), lm-sensors is only one of them, and the user should be aware of that. > > And lm-sensors 2 doesn't even support your > > device so this is a totally moot point. > > I thought it did work with arbitrary devices providing the right > attributes, but obviously I misremembered. This is how lm-sensors 3 works. But lm-sensors 2 needs explicit support for each and every device. Which is exactly why version 2 sucked and nobody should be using it any longer. > So there's no reason not to change. Thanks.
