You may need to edit your modules.conf and rc.local Have you i2c-proc showing up with an 'lsmod'? I added a few modprobes to the end of my rc.local and an alias in the modules.conf to get it going.
I had problems with FC's rpm's. Ended up removing the lm_sensors rpm and downloading the latest i2c and lm_sensors tarballs and followed the following procedure without any hassles.
- Unpack both tarballs. - Make, Make install on i2c first, then lm_sensors second. - depmod -a - Check /usr/local/bin is in ld.so.conf - ldconfig - Run /sbin/sensors-detect and update modules.conf and rc.local as directed.
Cheers, Daniel

Yes, I have both 2.4 and 2.6 kernels. Yes, I do have /sys and I have inserted the sysfs in fstab. I know I have to edit something else to get the lm_sensors to work, but I can't remember what.
