Re: Sensors on Asus P2B-F?

[Paul Goyette <paul%whooppee.com@localhost>]

Since there can be multiple devices at each i2c address, and there is 
no common way to probe and identify which devices are present, most of 
the sensors are not enabled in GENERIC kernels.

Once you've identified the sensors on your machine, you need to build 
custom kernel to include them.  In your case, this would be an lm(4) 
device.  You need to convert the i2c address to be "right-justified", so 
you'll need

        lm0 at iic? addr 0x2d
