[gentoo-user] Trouble with lm_sensors.

[Jeff]

Hey all.

I've followed the Gentoo-Wiki HOWTO (which seems to be lacking a lot of
extra info), I've played with the lm_sensors website looking for
answers, I've been reading countless pages of RTFM, and what not - I'm
just slightly frustrated trying to get lm_sensors to work.

My kernel, with i2c compiled as modules:

2.6.16-gentoo-r3

See here, sysfs is mounted:

sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)

My i2c modules are loading (there may be more needed):

i2c_i801               11276  0
i2c_core               22784  3 eeprom,nvidia,i2c_i801

>From /etc/conf.d/rc:

RC_DEVICES="udev"

lm_sensors installed:

[I--] [  ] sys-apps/lm_sensors-2.10.0 (0)

It would seem that my setup is ready for lm_sensors, but then when I run
sensors after sensors-detect, this is what I get:

Can't access procfs/sysfs file
Unable to find i2c bus information;
For 2.6 kernels, make sure you have mounted sysfs and libsensors
was compiled with sysfs support!
For older kernels, make sure you have done 'modprobe i2c-proc'!

Any idea what I might be missing here? I'm a lm_sensor n00b.

Thanks!
