I have compiled the i2c and lm_sensors packages from the tarballs using
make all and make install on both packages. As far as I can tell, the
compilation goes ok and I have new modules installed in at least
/lib/modules/2.2.5-22/misc. I have done depmod -a. but can't get the
i2c-dev module to load (can't find it) when running sensors-detect.
The docs say that these modules should be in
/lib/modules/current/extra/misc.
I created the symlink /lib/modules/current to /lib/modules/2.2.5-22
there is no /lib/modules/current/extra directory
I added the suggested lines to conf.modules:
path=/lib/modules/current/misc
alias char-major-89 i2c-dev
But this screws up everything and the ethernet module won't load.
depmod -av shows a bunch of modules in the /lib/modules/2.2.5-22/misc
directory but not the i2c ones
How do I get the modutils to see these modules? If I need to put them
into a different directory and add the path=/path/to/new/modules in
conf.modules, any idea why the got installed in ./misc in the first
place?
I am bumfuzzled.
