Hmmm... thanks for the suggestion, but this didn't work for me. It
probably still needs drivers to the hardware which I haven't selected
in modconf.
But looking into my original problem, I finally solved it! Short
explanation: 'user stupidity'...
I applied the vt1211 patch, but had to edit it a little bit to make it
a perfect patch for kernel 2.6.8-16 ( I like a patch that works
without fuzzyness). While editing it, I accidently removed the last
two lines of vt1211.c which had something to do with initializing the
driver...
Of course, during compilation, I didn't notice the two resulting
warnings between all other compile messages.
Lesson learned: always pay attention during kernel compilation.
Anyway, it works, 'sensors' now reports the CPU temperature. Good
thing because I'm going to migrate the system to a fanless case very
soon...
