[lm-sensors] Compiling device drivers without compiling the kernel?

[Terrence Martin]

I have a Centos 4.4 system, and I was wondering if it is possible or if 
there are instructions for compiling the drivers for sensors that did 
not come stock with the centos kernel? I found the k8temp online, 
unfortunately the kernel complains the module is in the wrong format.

The related question is there any docs out there for getting lm sensors 
with newer sensors working on RHEL4.x based systems (eg. Centos?).

Thanks,

Terrence
