Description david somers 2005-05-17 09:52:22 UTC

When running /etc/init.d/lm_sensors on a system where the kernel does NOT 
support loadable modules, this script attempts modprobe

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
do
/etc/init.d/lm_sensors start
on a system where the kernel has been build without loadable module support.


Expected Results:  
Insert a guard, (if [ -f /proc/modules ] ... fi), in start() around the 
appropriate code.

if [ -f /proc/modules ]
  if [ -z "${NOLOADMODULES}" ] ; then
  ....
  fi
fi
