It is now working. I removed the eeprom module. What is this module? I put it in my /etc/rc.local after running sensors-detect but it seems to be unused by my system... I had alse to disable lm_sensors services to prevent the loading of this module, so I don't know for what these services are useful.
eeprom is used for SMBUS. You could have also just applied the patch instead of disabling eeprom. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ L. Friedman netllama@xxxxxxxxx LlamaLand http://netllama.linux-sxs.org
