I've just installed this package, and, having run through the build instructions on the relevant page of the book, it seemed to me to be a very convoluted approach, but maybe I'm wrong.
Why is it necessary to build a modular kernel first? Using my statically-built kernel, I built and installed lm_sensors-3.3.5. Then I ran "sensors-detect" which supplied me with the hardware info and the relevant kernel drivers necessary to load. Only three devices were detected, which was not surprising as it's an Intel mini-ITX embedded motherboard. I had already built in the two most obvious drivers leaving just a third (more obscure one) to compile in to the kernel. Even if I hadn't installed *any* of the relevant drivers, "sensors-detect" would still have supplied me with the complete list. So, I can't see what benefit building an initial modular kernel would have achieved. Maybe somebody can enlighten me. Richard
