From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020513 Description of problem: I am working with the latest kernel from RH which is 2.4.18-10. I want to get lm_sensors working and it tells me that I need to have ds1621.o available as a module. For the life of me, I can't figure out what entry in .config to access to affect the creation of this object module. It might have something to do with drivers/char/ds1620.c or it might be drivers/sensors/sensors.c I really can't tell. And there's nothing intuitive to see in the .config file. I spoke to a guru friend of mine who is running Mandrake who actually has a CONFIG_SENSORS_DS1621=m in *his* .config while I do not. So here's my question: 1. Is this a bug? i.e., is the src code provided but there's no access to the object via the standard config interface? 2. Can someone please tell me what the exact compilation command is to get this object module? I did sensors-detect and it told me what modules I need to modprobe. One of the modules it told me I need to modprobe is ds1621.o and it's not there. The kernel supplied by Red Hat does not come with ds1621.o and I can not find out how to build it; there is no option in the kernel .config file to enable the production of that module. I do have lm_sensors installed and it seems to be working. But I am not getting access to one of the sensors and this is the missing module. And, yes, I do have the lm_sensors installed that comes with the distro and that is at rev 2.6.1-1 I suspect that there is a bug because of what I said about my Mandrake friend: He can create the module and I can't. He has a CONFIG_DS1621=m in his .config and I don't. (I did try to add it manually but it gets ignored.) So let me try this again. There are three things that would solve my problem: 1. Someone could send me ds1621.o 2. Tell me what config option I need to set in the kernel .config file to cause this module to be created. 3. Confirm that I have indeed discovered a bug in the kernel which prevents this option from being available. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Try to configure a kernel that yields a ds1621.o 2. 3. Additional info: This impacts lm_sensors, but I don't think it is a problem with that package.
Changing to kernel as component. Read ya, Phil
Uhm this is supposed to be there if not you can just grab the kernel from rawhide and use that... that has it for sure
Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem persists. The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
