".. gentoo-sources as of 2.4.20-r1"

this was suggested to fix this! lol, i was running vanilla, compiled all i2c into the kernel and modules, didnt fix, figured id jump over to gentoo-sources to fix it, negative.

localhost i2c # ls
i2c-algo-bit.o i2c-core.o i2c-elektor.o i2c-pcf-epp.o i2c-proc.o

i2c-proc 7536 0 (unused)
i2c-dev 4900 0 (unused)

i manualy loaded those, so they are there..

any ideas?

i just want lm_sensors so i can oc!#%

The way I have lm_sensors working is that I compiled in i2c support as modules in gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r1. I did not install install the i2c ebuild and then emerged lm_sensors without any problems. Did you compile in i2c modules support in your kernel? Is /usr/src/linux pointing to the correct linux source tree of the currently used kernel?

well the first post i think shows i have everything compiled in, running on the new kernel as well..

i have i2c working i guess, i am able to load some modules but i doubt i have them all, check the list i posted.

how do i just emerge lm_sensors? every time i doit will try to compile i2c or lm_sensors is doing that for me, not sure exactly but i get the same error everyone else has, no good way to fix it as i can see since it is diffrent for everyone...

mebbe i will make a how-to if i can get this fixed, but thats will be added to the list of other how-tos i need to make

localhost root # emerge lm_sensors

then..

bunch of those :/ not sure if those are needed... but now it doesnt tryto install i2c but it does do alot of stuff with it then dies after compiling for over an hour..

emerge i2c

!!! i2c requires the source of a compatible kernel\nversion installed in /usr/src/linux\nand kernel i2c *disabled* or *enabled as a module*

its enabled as a module!#@%

hopefully i can rebuild my kernel at work and reboot and ssh in

god ill just talk to myself to build my posts up..

took out all i2c options in the kernel, same error as always..

i will manualy patch i guess, even tho uh, it should be patched.. or ill go back to vanilla and patch it, erm.. went to gentoo-sources to fix this, this error message is no good, should say more about what went wrong.. to many open files hehg

Well I'd sure say you are having some issues. :wink:

Did you try just doing what this link suggests for installation (without emerging stuff). I would try compiling stuff manually and see if that works, although I am not understanding why it isn't working for you meth.

Regards,

Jeff

ill give it a shot, dunno why it doesnt emerge either..

I have had the same problem and found this small patch:
http://www2.lm-sensors.nu/~lm78/readticket.cgi?ticket=1189
It's weird, but it worked for me. I did it manually. :wink:

Tell me if it works for you, maybe it could be included in the lm_sensors ebuild...

Weird. I'm using lm_sensors 2.7.0 and gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r1+ptracefix (bloody xfs removed in -r2).

I do *NOT* have sys-apps/i2c! (I'm using a non-I2C device).
