hmmm, I installed tne latest lm_sensors + i2c in end of august.
I'll have to look for the now newest one and give it a try.

now I'm using 2.4.9. The reason why I was hesitating to install a newer
one was just the i2c package - I would have to rebuild it (have to read
all the manuals again)

Anyway, First Ill try the newest i2c version and then the newest kernel
with shipped i2c and then with i2c from lm_sensors.

Thanks for the hint.
