Strange. Where exactly do you add this line?

If you are sure you have a ServerWorks OSB4 and an ADM1026 chip, you
could skip the detection step and load i2c-piix4 and adm1026 directly.
That said, if sensors-detect has difficulties finding the chip, I expect
that it won't work that easily. Check the logs while inserting the
modules, it might give you relevant information.
