I'm trying to get lm_sensors working on my via kt600 board, running into error messages though, this is the output I get when running sensors-detect:

Code:
lucy root # sensors-detect

This program will help you determine which I2C/SMBus modules you need to
load to use lm_sensors most effectively. You need to have i2c and
lm_sensors installed before running this program.
Also, you need to be `root', or at least have access to the /dev/i2c-*
files, for most things.
If you have patched your kernel and have some drivers built-in, you can
safely answer NO if asked to load some modules. In this case, things may
seem a bit confusing, but they will still work.

 BIOS vendor (ACPI): AMI   
 System vendor (DMI): MSI
 BIOS version (DMI): Version 07.00T
 We can start with probing for (PCI) I2C or SMBus adapters.
 You do not need any special privileges for this.
 Do you want to probe now? (YES/no): YES
Probing for PCI bus adapters...
Sorry, no PCI bus adapters found.

 We will now try to load each adapter module in turn.
 Do you now want to be prompted for non-detectable adapters? (yes/NO): NO
 To continue, we need module `i2c-dev' to be loaded.
 If it is built-in into your kernel, you can safely skip this.
 i2c-dev is not loaded. Do you want to load it now? (YES/no): YES
FATAL: Module i2c_dev already in kernel.
 Loading failed, expect problems later on.
                               
 We are now going to do the adapter probings. Some adapters may hang halfway
 through; we can't really help that. Also, some chips will be double detected;
 we choose the one with the highest confidence value in that case.
 If you found that the adapter hung after probing a certain address, you can
 specify that address to remain unprobed. That often
 includes address 0x69 (clock chip).
Couldn't open /proc/bus/i2c?!? at /usr/sbin/sensors-detect line 3972, <STDIN> line 3.

Anyone have any idea what I'm missing? Thanks!
