It's a known problem. Our libsensors library isn't compatible with the
sensors modules found in kernel 2.5. We will be working on a solution,
but had no time to do it yet. With the 2.5 kernel modules, you need to
read the value from the sysfs filesystem directly, which isn't very
convenient. If you want to use the library and utilities that make use
of it such as the "sensors" program, you have to stick to a 2.4 series
kernel, sorry.
