OK, so we are probably down to a configuration file tweaking issue,
rather than a driver breakage.

The value didn't change that much. The low limit did, I can't tell why.
The problem here is that your VID reading (nominal CPU voltage) is not
correct, and the Vcore limits are set based on that value... This seems
to be caused by a bug in our hwmon-vid driver, Rudolf Marek is working
on it.
Until the bug is fixed, a solution is to hardcode the vid value in the
configuration file. Replace:
set in0_min vid * 0.95
set in0_max vid * 1.05
With:
set in0_min 1.525 * 0.95
set in0_max 1.525 * 1.05

in4 reading was broken before 2.6.15, this explains the change. The new
value doesn't make more sense though, so it's pretty clear to me that
this input is not wired to -12V. Either this line is used to monitor
something different, or it's not used at all. Given that the BIOS
doesn't display it, it's probably not used.

Urgh, next time please only include the relevant section!
I just found a sample configuration file for this motherboard posted by
Mark M. Hoffman to the list some times ago:
http://lists.lm-sensors.org/pipermail/lm-sensors/2005-February/010490.html
Except for vrm (no need to set it) and vid (can't trust the bogus
value) it should work fine for you.
