Topic: lm_sensors help needed to implement kernel-headers??

[Elluminatus]

Hi,

i need some held to get lm_sensors for my chip installed.

I checked the lm_sensors homepage and I find out that I normaly need the kernel 2.6.12 installed where the driver ist build in.

But there is an other possibility someone has build a patch for this. He wrote my some instructions but I don´t know what to do exactly:

http://tools.desire.ch/data/wmfscpos/files/kernel-driver-fscpos-2.6.1x.tar.bz2 (he told me that i maybe run under 2.6.9, too)

He told me to install the Kernel-headers

1. unpack the kernel-driver file (tar xjvf)
2. lmsensors fscpos: check if the kernel headers installed(/usr/src/linux..., /usr/src/linux-headers..., /usr/src/kernel-headers..., /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel, ... you can check the actual version of your kernel with "uname -r"
3.check the README where you find further instruction and the syntax
("make -C /usr/src/linux SUBDIRS=$PWD modules") (you have to replace /usr/src/linux with your own path to the kernel sources/headers)

Can someone help me with some step by step instructions to get this implemented in my SME Server? Thank you very much for your help...

Greetings E.

I think the best thing would be to wait for new kernel releases as I do not know if it will work and apart from that compiling stuff like kernels is not the easiest task if you are not very used to linux/unix stuff.First thing is as written by yourself already you need to install the kernel-headers but I do not know if they are available for the SME Server kernel, maybe installing the source RPM for the kernel will do as well... you can find the latter probably in the repositories and otherwise on the mirrors in SRPMS folder.

  ohhh, yes i think you´re rigt. I have to sit and wait for a new kernel ... but i think this will take some time...
