 Posted: Sun Mar 02, 2003 6:35 am Post subject: Vanilla kernel 2.4.20, i2c and lm_sensors |
 |
|
I know that this topic has been doing the rounds but to me the issue has yet to be resolved. One of the strengths of portage is the ability to run emerge and have it all work. This has been true of lm_sensors in the past.
However, as of lm_sensors 2.7.0, which requires i2c 2.7.0, things just don't work. I have i2c configured as modules in my kernel 2.4.20, which is as should be according to the description after i2c has been emerged. Nothing has changed there.
But when trying to emerge lm_sensors, the following error spew forth.
| Code: |

This is not good form. I am not willing to hand patch the kernel as this does not follow my and the Gentoo way of managing software on the system. Needless to say, doing that sort of stuff will doubtless lead to stuff being lost.
Any clues, nods of agreement, comments welcome.

Hi,
| Code: |
... gentoo-sources as of 2.4.20-r1
|
Just try gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r1 and it should work.

That's not a solution to the problem, that's just curing the symptom. There's no reason that lm_sensors shouldn't work with vanilla sources on Gentoo. I don't see why I should use the gentoo kernel when I've highlighted a problem that can and probably will face many Gentoo users like myself. Figuring out what is going on would be very useful.

Please read the homepage/docs of lm_sensors and you will see it explicitly stated that the i2c modules in 2.4.20 are not "new" enough. Yoo either need to patch your kernel by hand, or use gentoo-sources as of 2.4.20-r1.
The fact of the Gentoo way: you compile your own kernel. And when I installed lm_sensors, gentoo-sources 2.4.20-r1 came along as a dependency.
You'll still have to (re) compile your kernel manually. |

There's certainly nothing stopping you from hand patching your kernel, just when you unmerge it you'll need to clean up that old src dir sometime. Everything fits fine with the "gentoo way" as is, just patch it yourself if you're willing. I think if we're going to talk about the "gentoo way", it probably involves some hacking. That said, good luck! 
Either upgrade to the gentoo sources, or patch...but if you want to along with what the developers think for use of lm-sensors, gentoo-sources are the way to go until an upgrade. |
