Since my Kernel build seems to be taking forever, here is what I’ve been up to. I’ve been trying to get lm-sensors working on this Debian mix Woody/Sarge system. I didn’t mix them, I just inherited them. They need a special built 2.6.x kernel, and the systems don’t have a CDROM or floppy.

Working with the mixed system has been a pain in the butt, even though I followed  §3.8 of the APT HOWTO I think I’m having package version issues. So I’m making a pure Sarge system just to boot via of them. It seems a bit overkill, but you gotta do what you gotta do.
