I probably should have included a little more of the sensors-detect
script/output:

# sensors-detect revision 5818 (2010-01-18 17:22:07 +0100)
# System: System manufacturer System Product Name

This program will help you determine which kernel modules you need
to load to use lm_sensors most effectively. It is generally safe
and recommended to accept the default answers to all questions,
unless you know what you're doing.

Some south bridges, CPUs or memory controllers contain embedded sensors.
Do you want to scan for them? This is totally safe. (YES/no):

Some Super I/O chips contain embedded sensors. We have to write to
standard I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe.
Do you want to scan for Super I/O sensors? (YES/no):
Probing for Super-I/O at 0x2e/0x2f
Trying family `National Semiconductor'...                   No
Trying family `SMSC'...                                     No
Trying family `VIA/Winbond/Nuvoton/Fintek'...               Yes
Found `Winbond W83627THF/THG Super IO Sensors'              Success!
    (address 0x290, driver `w83627hf')
Probing for Super-I/O at 0x4e/0x4f
Trying family `National Semiconductor'...                   No
Trying family `SMSC'...                                     No
Trying family `VIA/Winbond/Nuvoton/Fintek'...               No
Trying family `ITE'...                                      No


{interjection}
I don't usually let it probe the 'isa' bus and I hadn't in this case.  I had two
reasons for not probing the 'isa' bus. 1) All the official Asus material
references the 'Super IO' bus. 2) The default in the sensors-detect script
for probing 'isa' is 'no'. Generally speaking, I get good results with the
default.

In the interest of testing _just_ for you, I overrode the default 'no'
with 'YES'
and got these results:
{/interjection}

Some systems (mainly servers) implement IPMI, a set of common interfaces
through which system health data may be retrieved, amongst other things.
We first try to get the information from SMBIOS. If we don't find it
there, we have to read from arbitrary I/O ports to probe for such
interfaces. This is normally safe. Do you want to scan for IPMI
interfaces? (YES/no):
Probing for `IPMI BMC KCS' at 0xca0...                      No
Probing for `IPMI BMC SMIC' at 0xca8...                     No

Some hardware monitoring chips are accessible through the ISA I/O ports.
We have to write to arbitrary I/O ports to probe them. This is usually
safe though. Yes, you do have ISA I/O ports even if you do not have any
ISA slots! Do you want to scan the ISA I/O ports? (yes/NO): YES
Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78' at 0x290...       No
Probing for `National Semiconductor LM79' at 0x290...       No
Probing for `Winbond W83781D' at 0x290...                   No
Probing for `Winbond W83782D' at 0x290...                   No

Lastly, we can probe the I2C/SMBus adapters for connected hardware
monitoring devices. This is the most risky part, and while it works
reasonably well on most systems, it has been reported to cause trouble
on some systems.
Do you want to probe the I2C/SMBus adapters now? (YES/no):
Using driver `i2c-nforce2' for device 0000:00:01.1: nVidia Corporation
nForce4 SMBus (MCP)
FATAL: Error inserting i2c_dev
(/lib/modules/2.6.35.4/kernel/drivers/i2c/i2c-dev.ko): Invalid module
format
Failed to load module i2c-dev.

Next adapter: SMBus nForce2 adapter at 1d00 (i2c-0)
Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively):
Can't open /dev/i2c-0
Next adapter: SMBus nForce2 adapter at 1e00 (i2c-1)
Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively):
Can't open /dev/i2c-1
Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done.
Just press ENTER to continue:

{end of sensors-detect}

I'm not certain what happened after the probe of the 'isa' bus. The
noted modules
were already loaded{

As it happens, I'll be testing 2.6.37_rc2 soon. I'll build the asus_atk0110
module and see if it loads. In the meantime, I'm perfectly happy with the
current arrangement. It exactly matches what's reported in the BIOS.

Best regards,

Guy
