i2c-proc module denies loading (sysctl) (Examined/Solved - lm_sensors 2.6.3, i2c 2.6.4, linux 2.4.19)

[contact]

Hi,

i suppose you're the right address to point this problem to because the the

lm_sensors team also hosts the i2c source.

well, i recompiled my whole system with gcc-3.2 and everything is running fine

now, except i can't load i2c-proc.o for any reason (loading of other i2c

modules is no problem at all, i use some of them for bttv e.g.).

root@polaris:~ # modprobe i2c-proc

/lib/modules/2.4.19/kernel/drivers/i2c/i2c-proc.o: init_module: Operation not

permitted

Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including

invalid IO or IRQ parameters.

You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg

/lib/modules/2.4.19/kernel/drivers/i2c/i2c-proc.o: insmod

/lib/modules/2.4.19/kernel/drivers/i2c/i2c-proc.o failed

/lib/modules/2.4.19/kernel/drivers/i2c/i2c-proc.o: insmod i2c-proc failed

well and thats in the kernel log... :

i2c-proc.o version 2.6.4 (20020719)

i2c-proc.o: error: sysctl interface not supported by kernel!

I found nothing related on google so i thought i'd just ask around here :)

On my previous system (linux 2.4.19, lm_sensors 2.6.3, i2c 2.6.2) i2c-proc.o

loaded just fine.

If you need further information on this issue just contact me via my e-mail

address.

Thanks in advance,

Timo Kosig --- you must configure your kernel to enable sysctl and recompile.
