lm_sensors probs



Greetings;

On my emc machine, which has the bdi-4.20 based on debian with a 
2.6.10 kernel installed, I'm trying to get gkrellm to show me the 
temps etc around the cpu.  This will be important in my workshop as 
the box will sit rather high in an un-insulated, non-air conditioned 
building.

The mobo is a Mach-speed V4DP/V4DU/V2DP/V2DU series with a DX 1400 
Athlon on it running at 1600, dead cool.

The chipset appears to be a VIA KM266Pro, with a VIA VT8235 
Southbridge.  There may also be a VIA VT82686 or similar chip for the 
i2c functions this needs.

When in the bios screens, there is a PC Health screen showing all this 
so I know its available.  The bdi install seems to have installed 
suitable modules for all this stuff, but none of them are loaded.

There appears to not be a 'sensors-detect' type program in this 
release, and a 'sudo apt-get install lm_sensors' says it cannot be 
found.  That would answer my questions I think, if it was part of 
debian.

So, the 64 dollar questions are, what modules do I need to load to 
enable this display in gkrellm, and how do I make the loading of them 
permanent at boot time?
