locating correct drivers for kernel [solved]
So I was practicing kernel building today and decided to become more adventurous I am going through each line and removing anything that is not specific to my computer, but I am running into an issue. Here is an example.
Hardware monitoring support.
To find the correct driver I use the scripts from lm_sensors. I do not see it in the list, so I do a search and find Intel Core/Core2/Atom temperature sensor, but there are no options to select it or anything.
So my question why? Did Arch already build this when I installed the first time?

I love computers, networking and Arch Linux. Sometimes I might ask a stupid question, but please have grace with me like I would with you.

Modprobed_db from the AUR and make localmodconfig will be an excellent starting place. See the PKGBUILD for Linux-ck for an example.

Re: locating correct drivers for kernel [solved]
Ok thanks, say I ran
hwdetect --modulesbut I was not able to find most of the ones it listed. which is strange because if they are listed than there has to be some record of them some where.
