    5 IMPORTANT NOTES
    6 
    7   * The format of /usr/etc/sensors3.conf changed with lm-sensors 3.0.0.
    8   If you have a custom configuration file using the old format, you
    9   can convert it using the sensors-conf-convert script. Otherwise just
   10   overwrite your old configuration file with the new default one.

   13 KERNEL CONFIGURATION
   14 
   15   * Enable "I2C support" (CONFIG_I2C=y or m). On many motherboards, the sensor
   16   chip is connected to the SMBus, which is supported by I2C in the Linux kernel
   17   
   18   * Enable "I2C device interface" (CONFIG_I2C_CHARDEV=m). sensors-detect needs
   19   this to probe for SMBus hardware monitoring chips.
   20   
   21   * In I2C Hardware Bus support, enable all drivers you might need, preferably
   22   as modules. If you're not sure, select them all.
   23   
   24   * Enable "Hardware Monitoring support" (CONFIG_HWMON=y or m).
   25   
   26   * Enable all hardware monitoring drivers you might need, preferably as modules
