[SOLVED] lm_sensors module dependencies

I'm trying to install some power-saving stuff on my Arch-NAS. I figured one of the easier ones would me lm_sensors and fancontrol.

Following the instructions on the Wiki page I installed and then ran sensors-detect. Unfortunately, I ran into these two:

Some south bridges, CPUs or memory controllers contain embedded sensors.
Do you want to scan for them? This is totally safe. (YES/no):
modprobe: FATAL: Module cpuid not found in directory /lib/modules/4.18.1-arch1-1-ARCH
Failed to load module cpuid.
Silicon Integrated Systems SIS5595...                       No
VIA VT82C686 Integrated Sensors...                          No
VIA VT8231 Integrated Sensors...                            No
AMD K8 thermal sensors...                                   No
AMD Family 10h thermal sensors...                           No
AMD Family 11h thermal sensors...                           No
AMD Family 12h and 14h thermal sensors...                   No
AMD Family 15h thermal sensors...                           No
AMD Family 16h thermal sensors...                           No
AMD Family 17h thermal sensors...                           No
AMD Family 15h power sensors...                             No
AMD Family 16h power sensors...                             No
Intel digital thermal sensor...                             No
Intel AMB FB-DIMM thermal sensor...                         No
Intel 5500/5520/X58 thermal sensor...                       No
VIA C7 thermal sensor...                                    No
VIA Nano thermal sensor...                                  No

...snip...

Lastly, we can probe the I2C/SMBus adapters for connected hardware
monitoring devices. This is the most risky part, and while it works
reasonably well on most systems, it has been reported to cause trouble
on some systems.
Do you want to probe the I2C/SMBus adapters now? (YES/no):
Using driver `i2c-i801' for device 0000:00:1f.3: Intel Cougar Point (PCH)
modprobe: FATAL: Module i2c-dev not found in directory /lib/modules/4.18.1-arch1-1-ARCH
Failed to load module i2c-dev.

...snip...

It looks like coretemp pick up my cpu, but I'd prefer not getting these errors and just having the detection run smoothly.

What am I doing wrong, and how do I fix it?

EDIT: Actually, I think I may have found it. I had just updated my system without rebooting, so I'm running a 4.18.1 system but the modules directory is 4.18.10. Silly of me.

Yes that's the likely cause, please mark as [SOLVED] by editing the title in your first post: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Co … ow_to_post
