No, the above shows that you don't have i2c-sis645 loaded.  The sensors
program may work without it though (it87 via ISA access).

After you load i2c-sis645, you should see a new entry in 'lspci -n',
like this:

00:02.1 Class 0c05 1039:0016

This is the SMBus PCI device that i2c-sis645 un-hides.  Let's first
confirm that much works for you in kernel 2.4.

With kernel 2.6, the driver (which is renamed to the more correct i2c-sis96x)
does not unhide the SMBus device.  The kernel itself does that right after it
boots.  This is the part that I suspect is going bad for you; here's what I'd
like you to do (beware this could crash your machine, especially if you or I
mistype something)...

As root, do this (# is the prompt):

# setpci -s 00:02.0 0x40

This will report a single number in hex; for me, it gives "98".  Add hex 40
to it; for me that's "98 + 40 = d8".  Substitute yours in place of NN below...

# setpci -s 00:02.0 0x40=0xNN

OK, now the true identity of that PCI device is revealed:

# lspci -H1 -n | grep "00:02.0"

Send me the results of that command.  Here's what I expect you'll see:

00:02.0 Class 0601: 1039:0018

Now one more command, to put things back.  Substitute the hex number that
you read in the first command for MM below...

# setpci -s 00:02.0 0x40=0xMM

I don't expect that the above commands will make much sense to you, but
at least you need to understand addition in hex to do this - if not then
let me know and I'll try to arrange a meeting by IRC to walk you through
it.
