Wrong location. I2C sensors data is to be found inside
/sys/bus/i2c/devices/ (when running kernel 2.6).

Those are ACPI thermal zones.

Do all fans provide sensors data? Not all fans do so. Are all fan
connectors on the motherboard have sensor chip connections or do they
just provide power? What do you mean by "control": speed regulation or
just getting the fan speed value?

I am sure the kernel has the required I2C modules. Did you run
sensors-detect? Did you compare the motherboard manual information about
the sensors chip with the information about the lm_sensors software?

What do you try to compile? And what did you change from the default?

The Pentium IV and Xeons reduce their clock speed to avoid a burn out,
i.e. if the cooler is not working properly and temperature values are
left.

Why can't you start that service?
Driver settings are controlled by /etc/cpuspeed.conf.
