Has anyone successfully managed to compile i2c 2.10.1 and lm_sensors
2.10.1 so that they work with kernels such as "2.6.9-42.0.2.ELsmp" as
distributed with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4?
For some of the 2.9 version of lm_sensors there used to be
lm_sensors-kmdl and i2c-kmdl rpms available in the ATRPMS repository
but now I do not see those anymore. any hints are welcome.
For 2.6 kernels, you dont need the separate module packages,
everythings already in the kernel tree. All you need is the user-space
part of lm_sensors, which is available from ATrpms:
rel="nofollow" atrpms.net/dist/el4/lm_sensors/ atrpms.net/dist/el4/lm_sensors/
I guess what I am really trying to get at here is the following:
If I just take the source code for the various modules I want
from the lm_sensors 2.10.x tree and patch it into a 2.6.9 kernel,
is it going to compile, or is the source code out there only
good to compile into 2.4 kernels.
Has nobody ever tried to patch the latest lm_sensors code
into a 2.6.9. enterprise kernel? Under enterprise linux 3
we used to do this all the time, I dont understand why
nobody has tried to do it in Enterprise linux 4.
