Hi,

When I type " sensors-detect" I get these messages:

Do you want to probe now? (YES/no):
Probing for PCI bus adapters...
Use driver `i2c-viapro' for device 00:07.4: VIA Technologies VT82C686 Apollo ACPI
Use driver `i2c-riva' for device 01:00.0: GeForce2 MX
Probe succesfully concluded

We will now try to load each adapter module in turn.
Load `i2c-viapro' (say NO if built into your kernel)? (YES/no):
modprobe: Can't locate module i2c-viapro
Loading failed ()... skipping.

My question is where can I get this module? I went to /lib/modules/ 2.4.19-r1/kernel/drivers/i2c/ and I found none "i2c-viapro.o".

Thanks for your help.

I found this on a different board using Google about the missing module

Try 'depmod'. Then 'modprobe -l' and make sure i2c-viapro is listed.

Hope that helps

Hi,

I did what you said "depmod" then "modprobe -l" but i2c-viapro is still not listed. I only get these lines:
...

i had the same problem as you (different chipset though), but i think i found the solution. When you emerge lm_sensors, if you don't have i2c support in your kernel, then it doesn't create the i2c-**** modules needed for your chipsets. Make modules for i2c in the kernel (it's in character devices->i2c or something like that), and then re-emerge lm_sensors, and then you can run sensors-detect and it should be able to tell you what you need to add to your modules.autoload and modules.d/aliases file. This worked for me, hope it works for you.
