I am trying to get sensors working. I ran sensors-detect, followed all steps, up to the point where it directs to add modprobe lines to "...some /etc/rc* file." Howto directions in other places say to add lines "...to the appropriate /etc/rc.d/xxxx file." Can someone be a little more specific about the file to add these lines to? What may be appropriate to someone wiser is not so obvious to me. Thanks for your assistance. Richard

Further query: as I look a little further, the modules appear to be in the file /etc/sysconfig/kernel, and the additional line "/usr/bin/sensors -s seems to be added to /etc/rc.d/lm_sensors. Is this correct, and enough to not add those module lines to some random rc* whatever file? Thanks, Richard

Just put the result from the sensors-detect in the file /etc/rc.d/boot.local and you may start using sensors

Thanks, so much more direct. Richard

Now, how do you get this to work in SuSE 9.2? It uses udev, which(I think) by default does not poulate the /dev directory. So, this is what you get when you run sensors-detect: No i2c device files found. Use prog/mkdev/mkdev.sh to create them. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! NeoFax

This will be specifically unhelpful: I am running 9.2, so all of this has applied to that system, 64-bit, 2.6.8-24.5-default (have not upgraded to -10 yet). I did not do anything on purpose or with any awareness of what I was doing that would have set up the /dev directory, just assumed it was set up during routine clean install, saving only the /home directory.
