sensors: numerical sysctl 7 2 1 is obsolete.

I now get these warnings when loading the i2c via686a and viapro modules
in my dmesg output. Apparently this stops the modules from creating
sysfs entries that it used to be able to do in 2.6.0-mm1. Is this just me or is this happening to everyone?

These warnings are coming from userspace, not the modules.

I recommend upgrading to the latest release of lmsensors (they should be making a new release any day now to handle 2.6.1 properly.)

thanks,

the modules themselves aren't making sysfs entries and lm_sensors is integrated with the kernel. so i tried sensors just in case and didn't realize it would output messages into the message log and not terminal.
In any case, i was simply wondering if the kernel's lm_sensors was
outdated or if i was running into a compilation or configuration problem brought on by any recent changes. It would appear though that the sensors in the kernel are incompatible with the kernel, at least some of them.
