in the mainline 2.6.31 kernel, there is a change which causes hardware monitoring to no longer work on some motherboards.

If you have an Asus motherboard, chances are good there is an ACPI interface to read your sensors, which is safe, and no more sensors.conf tweaking needed for conversion formulas! Make sure you have the asus_atk0110 driver enabled in your kernel configuration to use this. You will also need lm-sensors version 3.1.0 or later.

Please provide a newer lm-sensors version, 3.0.2 is pretty old, Debian is already shipping 3.1.1 since a while, in both testing and unstable.
