Re: lm-sensors and lm78 chip

You might try 'modprobe it87'. That one works for me, although I used
i2c-source and lm-sensors-source to compile modules instead of just
what the kernel contains (I also had problems getting lm-sensors to
work and kept trying different things until I found something that
worked for me).
