Another rebuild didn't help:

Thinking it didn't load it87, I tried again:

[root@...ote 3.002005]# modprobe it87
FATAL: Error inserting it87 (/lib/modules/2.6.31-rc7/kernel/drivers/hwmon/it87.ko): Device or resource busy
[root@...ote 3.002005]# sensors
No sensors found!
Make sure you loaded all the kernel drivers you need.
Try sensors-detect to find out which these are.
 
Been there, done that, no joy.

From messages when I attempt to access the it87:

.config is attached, in case I've screwed the moose.
