After installing i2c and lm_sensors, I run sensors-detect, as per installation instructions. This results in the error message: No i2c device files found. Use prog/mkdev/mkdev.sh to create them. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge gentoo-sources-2.4.20-gentoo-r2 2. disable i2c support and install the kernel 3. emerge sys-apps/i2c-2.8.1 and sys-apps/lm-sensors-2.8.1 4. run sensors-detect Actual Results: frost linux # sensors-detect No i2c device files found. Use prog/mkdev/mkdev.sh to create them. Expected Results: It should report back either that my chipset is not supported, or proceed to give me the usual module parameters and create the proper conf files. In particular, it should not be necessary to do manual module loading, or if it is, then the installation instructions should be very clear about it, and not just claim that "sensors-detect" is sufficient. It does not help to manually load i2c-core, i2c-dev and i2c-proc, but when I do, the directory /dev/i2c is created (and is empty). My chipset is AMD768, which is supported by the driver i2c-amd756, which gets installed in /lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r9/kernel/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-amd756.o, and if I manually load it before running sensors-detect, it finds the chipset and does probing. However, after probing, it uses a different driver (w83781d).
Try "mkdir /dev/i2c" and see if that helps...
Also, if you're using 2.4.20 you should be using i2c and lm-sensors 2.7.0, not 2.8.1.
Is this still a bug? Did you try the right version i2c and lm_sensors?
I'm not seeing any form of response on this one. Closing unless I hear otherwise.
