Install lm-sensors. Go to
/usr/src
tar zxvf lm-sensors.tar.gz
cd modules
cd i2c [build i2c stuff here - you'll need it for old kernels like 2.2.17)
[plz read installation instructions.... - opt for kernel thing and
rebuild kernel. Or module if you like]
You'll need i2c stuff before you can install any sensor bus or chip modules.
Now, let's build the lm-sensors modules:
cd /usr/src/modules
cd lm-sensors
make
cd kernel
in busses you'll find viapro bus module
in chips you'll find all supported sensors...
All you have to do then is move these modules to the kernel
directory somewhere in misc or something. Not too sure for
2.2.x kernels anymore but if you put it in one of the directories
and run update-modules..
I have these 2 installed:
mira:/usr/src/modules/lm-sensors# ls /lib/modules/2.4.17/misc
i2c-viapro.o w83781d.o
w83781d might not work for you but then again it might.
Hope this helps a bit,
Adam
