hello guys...I am trying to follow a guide on wiki to get lm_sensors working.When I run sensors_select i get :
Code:

This program will help you determine which kernel modules you need
to load to use lm_sensors most effectively. It is generally safe
and recommended to accept the default answers to all questions,
unless you know what you're doing.

We can start with probing for (PCI) I2C or SMBus adapters.
Do you want to probe now? (YES/no): y
Probing for PCI bus adapters...
Use driver `i2c-sis96x' for device 0000:00:02.1: Silicon Integrated Systems SMBus Controller

We will now try to load each adapter module in turn.
Load `i2c-sis96x' (say NO if built into your kernel)? (YES/no): y
WARNING: Error inserting i2c_core (/lib/modules/2.6.22-suspend2-r2/kernel/drivers/i2c/i2c-core.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
FATAL: Error inserting i2c_sis96x (/lib/modules/2.6.22-suspend2-r2/kernel/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-sis96x.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
Loading failed... skipping.
If you have undetectable or unsupported adapters, you can have them
scanned by manually loading the modules before running this script.

To continue, we need module `i2c-dev' to be loaded.
Do you want to load `i2c-dev' now? (YES/no):


dmesg output only the last part:
Code:

i2c_core: Unknown symbol __i2c_board_list
i2c_core: Unknown symbol __i2c_first_dynamic_bus_num
i2c_core: Unknown symbol __i2c_board_lock
i2c_sis96x: Unknown symbol i2c_del_adapter
i2c_sis96x: Unknown symbol i2c_add_adapter


What is going on, i tried google but i couldnt get any help.Whats happening here some of my hardwares arent supported or what?Im running ACER aspire 3630 with some cheap hardware.

I got the same messages. For me it was enough to compile everything in kernel connected with sensors as modules and reboot.

You can probably fix it by:

Code:

cd /usr/src/linux
make modules && make modules_install


However, if there was stuff that was a module previously, but is now compiled as part of the kernel, that can also cause problems.

You'd need to figure out the appropriate directory in /lib/modules to delete, then run the above again in that case.
