Jean Delvare: Thank you so much for your feedback.
I did install the patch as recommended with no errors and I ran sensors-detect again:
# sudo 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.
It is generally safe and recommended to accept the default answers to all
questions, unless you know what you're doing.
We can start with probing for (PCI) I2C or SMBus adapters.
You do not need any special privileges for this.
Do you want to probe now? (YES/no): YES
Probing for PCI bus adapters...
Use driver `to-be-written' for device 00:14.0: ATI Technologies Inc ATI SMBus
Probe succesfully concluded.
We will now try to load each adapter module in turn.
Load `to-be-written' (say NO if built into your kernel)? (YES/no): no
If you have undetectable or unsupported adapters, you can have them
scanned by manually loading the modules before running this script.
To continue, we need module `i2c-dev' to be loaded.
If it is built-in into your kernel, you can safely skip this.
i2c-dev is already loaded.
We are now going to do the adapter probings. Some adapters may hang halfway
through; we can't really help that. Also, some chips will be double detected;
we choose the one with the highest confidence value in that case.
If you found that the adapter hung after probing a certain address, you can
specify that address to remain unprobed. That often
includes address 0x69 (clock chip).
Some chips are also accessible through the ISA bus. ISA probes are
typically a bit more dangerous, as we have to write to I/O ports to do
this. This is usually safe though.

Some Super I/O chips may also contain sensors. Super I/O probes are
typically a bit more dangerous, as we have to write to I/O ports to do
this. This is usually safe though.

Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done.
Just press ENTER to continue:
Driver `to-be-written' (should be inserted):
Detects correctly:
* ISA bus address 0x0800 (Busdriver `i2c-isa')
Chip `SMSC 47M15x/192 Super IO Fan Sensors' (confidence: 9)
I will now generate the commands needed to load the I2C modules.
Sometimes, a chip is available both through the ISA bus and an I2C bus.
ISA bus access is faster, but you need to load an additional driver module
for it. If you have the choice, do you want to use the ISA bus or the
I2C/SMBus (ISA/smbus)? ISA
To make the sensors modules behave correctly, add these lines to
/etc/modules:
#----cut here----
# I2C adapter drivers
i2c-isa
# I2C chip drivers
# no driver for SMSC 47M15x/192 Super IO Fan Sensors yet
#----cut here----
Do you want to add these lines to /etc/modules automatically? (yes/NO)NO
I still have the same issues after the patch. Plus, I have this error as well:

It's supported by the smsc47m1 driver since 2.6.14, so it should work
fine for you, just "modprobe smsc47m1".
The problem here is that sensors-detect isn't aware that the support
was added. We only updated the information in lm_sensors 2.9.2, so I
guess you have an older version. Except for the incomplete driver
listing in sensors-detect, it should still work OK.

Note that we now have support for this SMBus master. It requires this patch:
http://khali.linux-fr.org/devel/i2c/linux-2.6/i2c-piix4-add-ati-smbus-support.patch
Which will be merged in mainline soon.
You may have additional devices behind that master. In particular, the
SMSC LPC47M192 chip is know to have voltage and temperature sensors,
for which support is being added these days. You motherboard may or may
not make use of this feature.
