Intel Atom thermal sensors

Hello.

Thank you for such great tool as lm_sensors package!

I'm a bit new to it and recently bought MSI Wind Nettop PC - small barebone on intel Atom N330.
I'm using it with Ubuntu server 9.10 64 bit, trying to make a small home NAS.

When I first installed lm_sensors package it was version 3.0.2 - it had problem loading lm85 module despite correctly identifying adt7468 chip. This was fixed quickly after I searched list archives.
At the same time I've learned that recent versions of lm_sensors are able to detect Intel Atom thermal sensors.
I installed version 3.1.2 - now sensors-detect correctly identifies Atom CPU, but I still do not see probes in sensors output.

Question - is this because Atom CPU support in coretemp is only in kernel 2.6.32 and my Ubunty is only  2.6.31?

Next, I'll try to create configuration for this motherboard, but I might need some help here as well.
For example, I see output like this:
temp1:       +46.8°C  (low  =  +1.0°C, high =  -1.0°C)  ALARM
temp2:       +45.5°C  (low  =  +1.0°C, high =  -1.0°C)  ALARM
Which shows wrong min/max values, but browsing /sys/devices I found some additional ranges in those files:
temp1_auto_temp_crit = 80000
temp1_auto_temp_max = 52000
temp1_auto_temp_min = 50000
temp1_auto_temp_off = 46000
What are those values (I understand that its Celsius * 1000)?  My guess would be the values for fan control?
Also, temp1_max, temp1_min and temp1_fault are all "bad" - is this because
adt7468 does not report those values?
Is there detailed documentation on files in /sys/devices? Or reading lib/sysfs.c is my best bet?

Thank you very much for your help!
