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. +See the lm_sensors download page for guidance: + http://www.netroedge.com/~lm78/download.html + At least the following I2C/SMBus adapters are supported: Acer Labs M1533, M1535, and M1543C
