Description Leonid Kanter 2004-10-13 14:40:14 UTC 
Description of problem:

[root@leon root]# sensors-detect
No i2c device files found. Use prog/mkdev/mkdev.sh to create them.

[root@leon root]# MAKEDEV i2c
[root@leon root]# sensors-detect
...
help skipped

 We can start with probing for (PCI) I2C or SMBus adapters.
 You do not need any special privileges for this.
 Do you want to probe now? (YES/no):

It looks like i2c devices must be provided in /etc/dev.d or somhow else

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

udev-034-2
Comment 1 Harald Hoyer 2004-10-13 15:09:13 UTC 
lm_sensors-2.8.7-1 should add s.th. to /usr/sbin/sensors-detect like this:

[ -e /sys/bus/i2c ] || echo "No i2c support"

/sbin/modprobe i2c-dev

FILE=/dev/i2c-0
count=10
while [ ! -f  $FILE -a $count -gt 0 ]
do
  sleep 1
  count=$(($count-1))
done

if [ ! -f $FILE ]; then
  echo "No i2c support"
  exit 1
fi
Comment 2 Phil Knirsch 2004-10-18 11:53:27 UTC 
The latest lm_sensors package should contain a fix for that problem.

Please give it a shot.

Read ya, Phil
