Hello,
As the error message specifies, and to help you develop your
great drivers, here is a copy of what my Aptiva 2274-38U (Duron 600MHz
version) told me when I ran sensor detect. Also, it is on kernel 2.4.25
(Gentoo Linux, recompiled and all). So, if that can help you, i'm happy :-)

Neptune root # sensors-detect
This program will help you determine which I2C/SMBus modules you need to
load to use lm_sensors most effectively. You need to have i2c and
lm_sensors installed before running this program.
Also, you need to be `root', or at least have access to the /dev/i2c-*
files, for most things.
If you have patched your kernel and have some drivers built-in, you can
safely answer NO if asked to load some modules. In this case, things may
seem a bit confusing, but they will still work.
BIOS vendor (ACPI): VIA694
System vendor (DMI): IBM
BIOS version (DMI): S21M-E4
Sorry, we won't let you go on. IBM systems are known to have
serious problems with lm_sensors, resulting in hardware failures.
For more information, see README.thinkpad or
http://www2.lm-sensors.nu/~lm78/cvs/lm_sensors2/README.thinkpad.
We used two methods to determine your system's vendor, and they led
to different results. We'd appreciate to have feedback about such
systems. Please, take some time and contact the lm_sensors mailing
list at <sensors at stimpy.netroedge.com>.
We need the following information:
* The brand and model of your system
* The BIOS vendor (ACPI) displayed above
* The System vendor (DMI) displayed above
Thanks!
