lm_sensors

[Daniel Stonier]

You may need to edit your modules.conf and rc.local
Have you i2c-proc showing up with an 'lsmod'?
I added a few modprobes to the end of my rc.local and
an alias in the modules.conf to get it going.

I had problems with FC's rpm's. Ended up removing the lm_sensors rpm and
downloading the latest i2c and lm_sensors tarballs and followed the
following procedure without any hassles.

- Unpack both tarballs.
- Make, Make install on i2c first, then lm_sensors second.
- depmod -a
- Check /usr/local/bin is in ld.so.conf
- ldconfig
- Run /sbin/sensors-detect and update modules.conf and rc.local
   as directed.

Cheers,
Daniel
