Well folks I found the problem. Something removed /dev/i2c-[1-3] but left the rest 4-31. Running from the source "./prog/mkdev/mkdev.sh showed the error. It created the three missing i2c devices and then "sensors-detect" worked. Question I have is what removed the /dev/i2c- devices.0
Well as normal "sensors-detect" in SuSE 9.2 fails. As root it shows the following error. "No i2c device files found. Use prog/mkdev/mkdev.sh to create them." I was a septic. Fine -> "locate mkdev.sh" Which returns a 0 so not found.
lm_sensors-2.8.8/prog/mkdev/mkdev.sh, downloaded the package from sourceforge.net and did "make user && make user_install". I think the 2.8.7 that was there was from 9.1 as rpm -qf /usr/bin/sensors said it wasn't owned by any package. I also changed the Makefile to point to /usr instead of /usr/local and ($PREFIX)/share/man for the man page path. Also built ksensors from sources as it wasn't installed, runs OK. Regards Sid.
