From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030910 Description of problem: Configuration of lm_sensors fails, since i2c modules are not included in the kernel RPM. However they're configured in the SRPM. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.4.21-4.EL How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. rpm -q -l kernel-2.4.21-4.EL |fgrep i2c Actual Results: No i2c modules are found. Expected Results: i2c modules are installed. Additional info: Kernel RPM is kernel-2.4.21-4.EL.i686.rpm
they'll be in the kernel-unsupported rpm....
Installing the kernel-unsupported rpm resolved the problem. However will I loose support for the machines, I install the kernel-unsupported rpm? I really like the feature to remote monitor the temperature of the machines. Already saved us from a crash in the past when the CPU cooler started to fail. Perhapse a dependendcy should be added to the lm_sensors package.
Not for the machine afaik (but read the SLA text to be 100% sure). We don't provide active support for the modules in the -unsupported rpm (eg we reserve the right to not spend lots of time debugging a module in it) and if there's an issue where it's suspected that a module from this rpm is causing trouble, you may be asked to try to reproduce it without said module loaded.
