In order to access the hardware sensors on my motherboard, I installed the lm-sensors-source package and the corresponding userland utilities. I need the i2c-viapro kernel module for my MB (VIA KT133A/82c686b chipset).
Now, when I try to patch the kernel (stricly following the instructions in the README and INSTALL files) not all lm-sensors modules are offered when I try to make menuconfig afterwards. The patches are applied fine without any errors, but the module I need just doesn't show up in the I²C section of the kernel configuration. This problem only affects the VIA modules. E.g. lm-sensors comes with a i2c-piix4.c file and I see an option for Intel PIIX4 support, but there are no configuration items corresponding to i2c-via.c and i2c-viapro.c (the latter being the one I need). Has anybody seen this before? Any ideas? BTW: I also tried building the modules outside of the kernel source tree, but compiling fails with an error message. I found an open bug report filed against lm-sensors-source describing the same problem, so I guess it's not just me overlooking something in this case. -- Philipp Lehman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
