i2c-2.8.1's README says that it only supports kernel 2.4.9 and newer. i2c-2.6.5's README (which is the version in stable) doesn't contain this admonition; lm-sensors-2.6.5's README says that it requires kernel 2.2.0 and i2c-2.6.1 (or kernel 2.4.13). > I mistakenly booted from CD 1 and ended up with a 2.2 kernel. > (Actually, IIRC this was a network install).

You can get an updated 2.4.18 kernel fairly painlessly via APT; searching aptitude's package list for "2.4.18" should help you find it. There still aren't prebuilt kernel modules, though; if you get the Debian kernel source for whichever kernel you have installed (maybe just the -headers package is sufficient) you can probably build modules from the {i2c,lm-sensors}-source packages. This doesn't appear to be a terribly well-documented process, alas. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
