    4 NOTE: PLEASE SKIM THE INSTALL DOCUMENT, OR BETTER YET READ IT CAREFULLY! 
    54The instructions in this document will generally work if you have a standard 
    65system, but not always!! 
     6 
     7The first part of document is for 2.6 kernel series, second part is for 
     8older 2.4 kernels.

     10Quickstart for Kernel 2.6  
     11------------------------- 
     12 
     130) Just compile and install lm-sensors userspace tools. You can do that with: 
     14   'make user; make user_install' 
     151) Make sure your kernel has support for all I2C bus drivers and 
     16   'i2c device interface'. If you are using a distribution kernel, all is 
     17   already prepared, you don't need to recompile it. 
     182) Run 'sensors-detect' command, it will tell you what modules you need to load. 
     193) Load them and run 'sensors' command, you should see some results. 
     204) Find right section in /etc/sensors.conf, fix labels, limits, fan divisors 
     215) Run 'sensors -s' to apply the changes.

    1340  * Verify you are running a 2.4 kernel, 2.4.10 or later. 
    14     If you are running a 2.5/2.6 kernel, the ONLY thing you need to 
    15     do is 'make user' and 'make user_install'. Do NOT follow the rest 
    16     of these instructions.
