thanks i ll consider about doing it

Do i understand correctly that i need to compile all that i2c stuff in
modules and load via686a module first - that will help?

And is that true that i need either lm80 working either via686a? I need
either ISA either SMbus sensors, or there will be some difference.



Merci de votre assistance,
