Install lm-sensors. Go to /usr/src tar zxvf lm-sensors.tar.gz cd modules cd i2c [build i2c stuff here - you'll need it for old kernels like 2.2.17) [plz read installation instructions.... - opt for kernel thing and rebuild kernel. Or module if you like] You'll need i2c stuff before you can install any sensor bus or chip modules. Now, let's build the lm-sensors modules: cd /usr/src/modules cd lm-sensors make cd kernel in busses you'll find viapro bus module in chips you'll find all supported sensors... All you have to do then is move these modules to the kernel directory somewhere in misc or something. Not too sure for 2.2.x kernels anymore but if you put it in one of the directories and run update-modules.. I have these 2 installed: mira:/usr/src/modules/lm-sensors# ls /lib/modules/2.4.17/misc i2c-viapro.o w83781d.o w83781d might not work for you but then again it might. Hope this helps a bit, Adam
