+WARNING! You also need the i2c package OR i2c support in your kernel.
+Even if your kernel does contain i2c support,
+you may need to patch your kernel with an updated i2c package,
+unless i2c came bundled with lm_sensors.
 
 Kernels 2.3.34 and later, and all 2.4.x kernels, contain the
 new I2C package; however, you may still need to download and install
 the latest I2C version if lm_sensors does not compile.
