yup. more 2.6 problems. has anyone gotten lm_sensors to work? 2.6 doesn't seem to have the i2c-proc module.

Kernel 2.6 has sensors support built-in. You don't need lm_sensors and they won't even work with 2.6. You can read data from the sensors from the /sys directory. GKrellM already supports it.

Unfortunately 2.6 has a bit outdated version of the lm_sensors drivers and my i2c controller isn't supported

I hope they get the new version soon...

So, if I have kernel 2.6 I do not need to install lm_sensors. Interesting!!
What about superkaramba. Was anybody able to use sensors in superkaramba under 2.6 kernel. I believe superkaramba reads all the informations from /proc folder.

You don't have to install lm_sensors, but you can if you want since v2.8.2 is in portage and supports 2.6.x kernels now. You do have to enter the full path to the ebuild to do it, though. It's under sys-apps/lm-sensors.

It will just install the userland apps if the modules are in your kernel. The reason I use it is so that I can adjust some things in sensors.conf. I run "sensors -s" in my local.start so that the settings take effect at boot time.
