[ale] lm-sensors+modules-kernel?

[Steven A. DuChene]

You need to use the most complete lm-sensors modules available.
Often the system kernels I have seen from Mandrake are fairly
complete in this regard. The standard kernels from kernel.org are
NOT. The lm-sensors code updates do not seem to make it into
the Linus's standard kernel.org stuff.
If the kernel you have already pushed out there has some support
for the i2c stuff then you should be able to push out just the
additional i2c/smbus/chips modules as a seperate entity.
