[gentoo-user] kernel 2.6.18 : 2 questions

[gentoo-user] kernel 2.6.18 : 2 questions

[Philip Webb]

I've successfully installed Kernel 2.6.18
-- is it imagination or is it a bit faster on this desktop ? -- ,
but there are a couple of simple questions I'm not sure how to answer.

(1) I used 'make xconfig' & it didn't show me the 'PPP' option:
when I used "find" from the "edit" menu, it showed up
& I was able to add it, but it's not under the tree-menu.
Is this a glitch in the 'xconfig' interface or did I miss something ?

(2) I compiled the sensor items into the kernel, not as modules,
but I'm now left with  2  orphan module lines when Init runs:
"loading lm_sensors modules ... [!!] ".
I've looked around, but can't easily see where those lines are defined
(it's not  /etc/modules.autoload.d/ , which is used by the kernel).
Can anyone give me a quick pointer to where to find them,
so that I can comment them out of whatever file they're mentioned in ?

Thanks for trying, but there's no such file/dir :

  root: modules.d> pwd
    /etc/modules.d
  root: modules.d> ls -l
    total 24
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1310 Sep 16 16:34 aliases
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root  122 Sep 16 16:34 i386
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root  719 Jun  5 15:01 nvidia
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root  299 Aug 20 01:41 ppp
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root   36 Feb 12  2005 svgalib
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root  251 Jul 22 11:33 svgalib_helper

Ok, a bit more effort by me (smile) shows

  root: etc> grep -r it87 *
    conf.d/lm_sensors:MODULE_1=it87

and in that file 

  MODULE_0=i2c-isa
  MODULE_1=it87

so I've commented them & will see what happens when I reboot later.

Anyone have any thoughts about this one ?

It appears that Lm_sensors doesn't need to be run as an init script,
as Gkrellm is showing temperatures & fan speed regardless.
Today's little lesson ... (smile)
