UDEV and lm_sensors HELP

Hi guys,

I am tired of this ls_sensors! I have been unlucky with support from this forum as coudl not make it work.
For me it all has to do with udev.

I followed the same procedure (from gentoo-wiki and other threds on the forum) on two PC, one of which new install.
I enabled the kernel and did emerge -C i2c gkrellm-sensors lm_sensors

When I type sensors, I get:

Can't access procfs/sysfs file
Unable to find i2c bus information;
For 2.6 kernels, make sure you have mounted sysfs and done
'modprobe i2c_sensor'!
For older kernels, make sure you have done 'modprobe i2c-proc'!

When I list ls /sys/bus/i2c/devices/ I don't even have a i2c directory.

What's with this?

Can someone please help me fixing this issue as it has been driving me nutz for the past week.

I appreciate any kind of help

Here is my /etc/conf.d/rc

RC_RETRY_KILL="yes"
RC_RETRY_TIMEOUT=1
RC_RETRY_COUNT=5
RC_FAIL_ON_ZOMBIE="no"
svcdir="/var/lib/init.d"
svcmount="no"

Code: Select all

ls /dev | grep i2c

tell me the results, and also check if you got I2C compiled as built-in/module in your kernel.
