When I try to emerge lm-sensors it says:Hi,
!!! ERROR: sys-apps/lm-sensors-2.7.0-r1 failed. !!! Function src_compile, Line 40, Exitcode 2 !!! lm_sensors requires the source of a compatible kernel\nversion installed in /usr/src/linux and >=i2c-2.7.0 support built as a modules this support is included in gentoo-sources as of 2.4.20-r1
I have vanilla-2.4.23 kernel. I am pretty sure I previously had lm-sensors working with an older vanilla kernel. Also an old version of sensors-detect that I have hanging around says that I need i2c-viapro and i2c-riva modules, but I don't see these in linux/.config. I guess if I had the right kernel they would exist? Is gentoo-sources really required for lm-sensors?

Here is what i did to have lm-sensors work with my kernel-2.4.23-grsec.
1.While compiling the kernel set i2c-support ot something and made i2c-core, i2c-proc and maybe i2c-dev to compile as modules. Later added them to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.4.
2.emerged lm-sensors w/o errors.
3.Run sensors-detect and gave some answers about which modules to use, etc. /eeprom, i2c-viapro, w83781d, i2c-isa - are mine/.
4.Now see that i have lm-sensors started with -> rc-update add lm-sensors default
5.emerged ksensors, all OK, run it with success, it gave some reliable info, but i'm not using it much, just playing.
5.As far as i remember /from mailing-list/ full support for lm-sensors comes with 2.6-kernel.
Don't remember how it loads the detected modules, maybe with lm-sensors started.
PS: I couldn't set up gkrellm2.
Hope this helps.
Rumen.
