lm_sensors on RHEL 3.0

[Harper Mann]

What kind of hardware do you have?

Dell systems have hidden the sensors chip such that I've never been able to
get lm_senors to work.

Subject: lm_sensors on RHEL 3.0

I'm trying to get lm_sensors to work on RHEL AS 3.0.  Apparently I have 
lm_sensors 2.6.5 installed, but whenever I type 'sensors' I'm told to 
'modprobe i2c-proc'.  Well, the only file that locate finds is i2c-proc.c.  
Okay, so I find the lm_sensors docs, and they say to install i2c (which is 
weird, because I seem to have the source files for i2c installed...) so I 
find the /usr/src/linux-2.4.21-20.EL/drivers/i2c directory.  I go there, 
but when I try running 'make', I get an error that I fix by setting TOPDIR 
and exporting.

Now I can compile i2c.o.  Whooah.  Except that when I try to do a 'make 
install', I get another error about how there's no 'install target'.

I'm rapidly running into a brick wall.  Is RedHat installing packages that 
don't work?  If so, why?  Or am I just that lost?  (which I wouldn't put 
past me these days.)

This is a production server, so I don't want to do much more without some 
guidance.  Anybody have sensors working?  I'd really like to check on 
temps and such.

Thanks!

Ben
