This is what I get when I do the following:

[root@etane /root]# insmod lm78

Comment 1 Arjan van de Ven 2000-10-28 09:13:02 UTC

you should do a "modprobe lm78" instead of an "insmod lm78.o"
The difference between insmod and modprobe is that modprobe also takes care of
dependencies.
For example, lm78.o requires "sensors.o" and "i2c-core" to be insmod before it
can be loaded
itself. You can do those two by hand first, but modprobe is much easier/safer in
this respect.

Problem fixed when using modprobe.
