[ale] lm-sensors+modules-kernel?

[Robert L. Harris]

Ok, got a fun one here :>

  We want to test out lm-sensors as some servers our group is running
has monitorable chips.  Things are a bit more fun though.

  None of the servers have /usr/src/linux or the kernel source on them.
All kernels are compiled on another machine all together and then the
kernel image and system map are rsync'd out to the servers.  No I can't
go into why, that's a very small part of a big picture that does make
sense.   I am though stuck dealing with this.

  Reading the lm-sensors install guide the drivers, i2c package, etc have 
to be installed as modules.  I'm currently mucking with kernel 2.4.18.
Is anyone using this kernel with sensors?  Do I have to download the
package or can I use the kernel i2c bits as is?  If I compile them into
the kernel and then install the lm-sensors package (heavily tweaked
debian install) should all run right?  Getting a kernel out there takes,
um, time...  Trying to save myself 2 weeks to find out it won't work on
this setup.

Feel free to give me thoughts, opinions, examples, the riot act,
whatever.

Robert

FYI:
 perl -e 'print $i=pack(c5,(41*2),sqrt(7056),(unpack(c,H)-2),oct(115),10);'
