I'm fairly sure that running sensors-detect is meant to tell you what modules to 
load. So you're probably right - but I need sensors-detect to run properly first 
- or maybe I'm misinterpreting what it means:

adam@gondor:~$ sudo sensors-detect
[sudo] password for adam:
No i2c device files found. Use prog/mkdev/mkdev.sh to create them.
adam@gondor:~$

mkdev.sh is obsolete, that's according to the lm-sensors website.
