oo-oops, I misunderstood something i read in the lm_sensors README :
"This lm_sensors release REQUIRES i2c-2.8.0 or later, which is not in
kernels through 2.4.21."
I'm sorry, i understood that as "after 2.4.21 it's okay". I thought i
was better at reading english, still have to enhance it seems :-))

I used the mkpatch.pl script to prepare a i2c patch for my kernel (the
"option 3" installation from the guide.
the kernel compiles fine, then lm_sensors compiles also.
A serious problem remains with bttv module that does not compile.
According to the insructions I read from the adress you gave me, i have
to patch th bttv-if.c file. But the patch doesn't apply, I tried
manually but I do not understand it well enough.
Could you just help me with that ? (it is a small patch, manually
editing should do it)
here is the patch :
diff --exclude=media -ru bttv-0.9.11-orig/bttv-if.c

No, it isn't. Where did you read that? It might be that *distributions*
patch the 2.4.21 kernels they are packaging with i2c 2.8.0, but it isn't
part of the vanilla sources.

You're invited to point your browser to:
http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/devel/i2c/
and read carefully everything that is written there. You'll find the
patches you need to be able to use i2c-2.8.x and still have bttv
working. Basically, all you'll have to do is patch your kernel sources
using one of the provided patches (i2c 2.8.0 for Linux 2.4.21 or i2c
2.8.1 for Linux 2.4.22), then installing lm_sensors (same version as
i2c) will be done as usual.
Let us know how it work for you.

Sure. Anyway, the easiest way to get everything working would be to
upgrade your kernel up to 2.4.22 and use my all-in-one, ready-to-apply
patch.

You're trying to do the wrong thing. This patch is intended for people
using recent bttv sources from outside the kernel. If you are using the
bttv driver from the Linux kernel, then you should use this one:
http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/devel/i2c/linux-2.4.22/linux-2.4.22-i2c-2.8.1-drivers-media-video.diff
or, if you are using i2c 2.8.0:
http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/devel/i2c/linux-2.4.21/linux-2.4.21-i2c-2.8.0-drivers-media-video.diff
That will fix all video drivers in your kernel tree, including bttv.

Je viens de voir le .fr de ta propre adresse, donc je me permets de
faire dans le bilingue.
Finalement je pense bien upgrader au 2.4.22 et prendre le patch unique,
ca devrait m'?viter des d?boires. Sauf que j'utilise aussi lirc, et si
j'en crois ce que j'ai lu, ca me promet aussi de ne pas ?tre triste. ...
Alors avant de m'y jeter (et au passage devoir aussi reinstaller mes
drivers video nvidia et sons alsa, a chaque fois la grande joie, plus ce
que j'oublie) ... quelle gal?re je risque avec lirc ?
---------------------------------
Now in english for the .com e-mail
I'll finally upgrade to 2.4.22 kernel, to use the provided patch.
But before doing that - as it is not that quick (recompiling nvidia
drivers, alsa drivers, and what more?) : i'm using also lirc... and it
seems that it requires also a patch. Will it be that complicated ?
thx anyway !

You're right : it is done, and it works !
Thanks for all,
I only have a few tweaks to do with the new kernel (udma support seem
lazy, I missed a step somwhere as usually, but that's another short
story :-) )

There is a specific patch for lirc, that you'll find on the very same
page as the main patch. Both 0.6.6 and CVS versions are supported. So,
no, it shouldn't be difficult at all.
