Re: 2.6.0-t1: i2c+sensors still whacky (hi Greg :)

Looks good, but are you _really_ building all of those drivers into your
kernel?  Make them modules, that way booting will not require a small
nap :)

Then load only the i2c bus driver that you have.  See if that causes the
system to slow down, or cause any kernel log messages?

Only then try loading a i2c client driver, for your hardware.

Exactly what i2c hardware do you have anyway?
