I'm glad you're as happy as I am about this! One problem I can see, however, is that there doesn't seem to be anything like sensors-detect that works. If you know what modules you need you're OK. One way is to select everything i2c as modules when you build the kernel, reboot, load all those modules then remerge gkrellm2 and see what it detects. After that you could rebuild your kernel, removing the modules you don't need. BTW I really do like the Qt xconfig setup with this kernel.
