2.6.1-mm3 lm_sensors outdated?

2.6.1-mm3 lm_sensors outdated?

[Ed Sweetman]

sensors: numerical sysctl 7 2 1 is obsolete.
sensors: numerical sysctl 7 2 1 is obsolete.

I now get these warnings when loading the i2c via686a and viapro modules 
  in my dmesg output. Apparently this stops the modules from creating 
sysfs entries that it used to be able to do in 2.6.0-mm1.  Is this just 
me or is this happening to everyone?

These warnings are coming from userspace, not the modules.

I recommend upgrading to the latest release of lmsensors (they should be
making a new release any day now to handle 2.6.1 properly.)

thanks,

the modules themselves aren't making sysfs entries and lm_sensors is 
integrated with the kernel. so i tried sensors just in case and didn't 
realize it would output messages into the message log and not terminal. 
   In any case, i was simply wondering if the kernel's lm_sensors was 
outdated or if i was running into a compilation or configuration problem 
brought on by any recent changes.   It would appear though that the 
sensors in the kernel are incompatible with the kernel, at least some of 
them.
