I am trying to get my lmsensors working, and I'm having quite a time. The only thing recognized thus far is my tv card. I am running a P4P800 Mobo, which appears to be supported, but when i run sensors-detect, i get this:

Code:

 We can start with probing for (PCI) I2C or SMBus adapters.
 You do not need any special privileges for this.
 Do you want to probe now? (YES/no):
Probing for PCI bus adapters...
Use driver `i2c-i801' for device 00:1f.3: Intel 82801EB ICH5
Probe succesfully concluded.

 We will now try to load each adapter module in turn.
Load `i2c-i801' (say NO if built into your kernel)? (YES/no):
FATAL: Module i2c_i801 already in kernel.
Loading failed... skipping.
 Do you now want to be prompted for non-detectable adapters? (yes/NO):
 To continue, we need module `i2c-dev' to be loaded.
 If it is built-in into your kernel, you can safely skip this.
 i2c-dev is not loaded. Do you want to load it now? (YES/no): no

 We are now going to do the adapter probings. Some adapters may hang halfway
 through; we can't really help that. Also, some chips will be double detected;
 we choose the one with the highest confidence value in that case.
 If you found that the adapter hung after probing a certain address, you can
 specify that address to remain unprobed. That often
 includes address 0x69 (clock chip).

Next adapter: SMBus I801 adapter at 0400 (Algorithm unavailable)
Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively):
Segmentation fault


:(

when i look in /var/log/messages i see this:

Code:

which kernel ?

that error message doesnt look good, you should get another kernel or reconfigure and disable what ever is causing that.

kernel 2.6.3-gentoo-r1

everything i have read says to enable i2c in the kernel as modules, which is what i did here.
