I went through the sensors-detect routine again, accepted all the defaults and it appears that I may need to install a "driver" somewhere but "should be inserted" leaves me wondering, inserted where and how? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done. Just press ENTER to continue:
Driver `adm9240' (should be inserted): Detects correctly: * Bus `SMBus PIIX4 adapter at 7000' (Algorithm unavailable) Busdriver `i2c-piix4', I2C address 0x2d Chip `Analog Devices ADM9240' (confidence: 7)

Apparently the only device detected is an smbus device.

Probing for `Analog Devices ADM9240'... Success! (confidence 7, driver `adm9240')

Scanning for ISA only, answering no to the smbus scans produces the message " Sorry, no chips were detected. "
So I conclude that it's smbus or nothing. With RH-9 I would see messages relative to the "sensors" at system boot, I don't get them now.
The sensors-detect program should have made recommendations about what modules to put where. It normally tels you to add some lines to /etc/modprobe.conf and also to an rc file, such as /etc/rc.local. If you have a backup of your RH9 /etc/modules.conf file, you might look at that to help give you a clue on what you need to load. In the meantime, I would remove everything you added to /etc/modprobe.conf from the first time you ran sensors-detect, and anything you put to a local startup file, then run sensors-detect. Also, rmmod any sensor-related modules you have loaded.
If you still can't get it working, go to the lm-sensors home page, (http://secure.netroedge.com/~lm78/), click on the Support Link, and enter your E-machines model number to see if someone else has found a solution to get their sensors to work.
You might also take a look at /usr/share/doc/lm_sensors-2.8.6/doc/chips/adm9240
