WARNING!!!!!!! Please read this fully, it may not be concerned to you but have a look on this, # /usr/sibn/sensors-detect This program will help you to determined which I2C/SMBus modules you need to load to use lm_sensors most effectively. You need to have done a "make install", issue a 'dempmod -a' and made sure ' /etc/config.modules' (or ' /etc/module.config') contains the appropriate module path before you can use some functions of this utility. Read the doc/modules for information. Also, you need to be root or at least have access to the /dev/i2c[-/]*files for some things. you can use prog/mkdev/mkdev.sh to create these /dev files if you don't have them already. if you have patch or kernel and have some drivers built-in you can safely answer no if asked to load some modules. In this case, things may seem a bit confusing, but they will still work. IF THIS IS AN IBM THINKPAD, PRESS CTRL -C NOW! IBM Thinckpads have a severely broken i2c/SMBus implementation, JUST SCANNING THE BUS WILL BREAK YOUR THINKPAD FOREVER!
