The sensor I use isn't in the kernel: asb100 (Asus's ASIC). I know for a fact the 2.6 doesn't support nearly as many sensors as the lm-sensors package, but I never tried getting it all setup on 2.6 since 2.6 hasn't been stable enough for what I needed it for. I thought that lm-sensors merely used the in-kernel i2c interface but provided it's own driver modules. I realize that the documentation says to build only the user utilities, but I thought that was just an error. I let portage take care of all the details. -ryan
