i2c-core i2c-proc smbus isa piix4 and i2c-dev can be loaded successfully with insmod but sensor.o cannot be loaded. It says : src/sensors.o: init_module: Device or resource busy Also in /proc i get the directories and the entries with /proc/bus and i2c but nothing like /proc/sys the entry in /proc/pci : Intel 82371AB PIIX4 ACPI (rev2) System: Gigabyte BXE with PII 350 ---

Looks like "sysctl support" wasn't built into the kernel. The default is for it to be included, but it can be removed to save some kernel space. Our modules, though, depend on having the /proc/sys support (aka sysctl) to work, so the kernel *must* be built with it for our software to work. Phil
