Re: Time for a new Project: FAN SPEED

Hmm, just ran it, this is what I get:

Probing for PCI bus adapters...
Use driver `i2c-i801' for device 00:1f.3: Intel 82801CA/CAM ICH3
Probe succesfully concluded.

 We will now try to load each adapter module in turn.
Load `i2c-i801' (say NO if built into your kernel)? (YES/no): 
Can't exec "modprobe": No such file or directory at
prog/detect/sensors-detect line 3538, <STDIN> line 2.
Loading failed... skipping.

 To continue, we need module `i2c-dev' to be loaded.
 If it is built-in into your kernel, you can safely skip this.
 i2c-dev is not loaded. Do you want to load it now? (YES/no): 
Can't exec "modprobe": No such file or directory at
prog/detect/sensors-detect line 3582, <STDIN> line 4.
 Loading failed, expect problems later on.

...  so it's having problems finding modprobe, which is odd, it's in
/sbin/modprobe .. I tried to modify the script to make that work, and
well that didn't work.  Thoughts?  It appears that the i2c-i801 is valid
though?
