+WARNING! This package will work on kernels 2.4.9 - 2.4.xx only.
 Use lm_sensors-2.4.5 for 2.0 kernels.
 Use lm_sensors-2.7.0 for 2.2, 2.3, and 2.4.0 - 2.4.8 kernels.
-Use the kernel patches linked from our download page for 2.5 kernels.
+Use the drivers already in the kernel for 2.5 kernels; if you need
+additional drivers in 2.5 please port and submit them to us.
 
 WARNING! You must get the latest i2c package, i2c-2.8.0,
 EVEN IF your kernel does contain i2c support!!!!!!!!!
 
-Kernels 2.3.34 and later, and all 2.4.x kernels, contain the
-I2C package. Kernels 2.4.13 - 2.4.20 contain i2c-2.6.1,
-which is NOT sufficient for compilation of this package.
+The I2C package in existing 2.4 kernels is NOT sufficient
+for compilation of this package.
 
-See the lm_sensors download page for guidance:
+ADDITIONALLY, i2c-2.8.0 is not API compatible to earlier i2c
+releases due to struct changes; therefore you must NOT ENABLE
+any other i2c drivers (e.g. bttv) in the kernel.
+Do NOT use lm-sensors 2.8.0 or i2c-2.8.0 if you require bttv.
