You shouldn't need to patch the kernel; doing that probably just makes a mess. When I've built i2c modules, I've done them completely externally and it works fine.

I recently uploaded a new version of the lm-sensors package that cleaned up a couple of the more serious problems with it, so you might see if this solves your problem. (In particular, it solves the "package doesn't actually contain modules" and the "build process tries to drop the package in the root directory" problems, the latter with a current kernel-package.) -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
