I have successfully installed lmsensors, (using 2.2.23 and 2.4.24
kernels) and it works great, especially with gkrellm. Try this for
starters:

http://www2.lm-sensors.nu/~lm78/cvs/lm_sensors2/doc/lm_sensors-FAQ.html

The first thing you should do is run sensors-detect to determine which
modules you'll need.

You'll have to install lm-sensors-source and compile the modules for your
kernel.  Anyway, it's all in the documentation at the site above.
Although everything is in debian, so you should compile and install the
"debian way" where that differs from the documentation.

I didn't actually use the above link, I can't remember what I read (apart
from the kernel source i2c docs.
