Has anyone tried compiling lm_sensors version 2.6.5 on an 8.0 system? The INSTALL document is a little hard to understand. I'm confused by the compilation options listed and the suggestion that I download a vanilla kernel tree from kernel.org rather than use a distro kernel tree (such as the Red Hat kernel, I suppose.)Yes, the instructions are confusing. IIRC, you have two options, to just compile the modules , or to compile a new kernel. I just compiled the modules, and it worked fine for me after some tweaking. 8.0 already has version 2.6.3 in rpm fromat....do you really need the 2.6.5 version?

Check the instructions again. I think the 'kernel compile' portion is mainly for older kernels ( like 2.2 and < ) , which did not have adequate i2c support.
