btw the lm_sensors init script sort off fails on my hardware - I have some
settings that needs to be loaded via sensors -s but it seems this part is
not always executed at the right time to work (ie the kernel is not ready
to accept it when the script calls it)

Just an aside, I'll do a formal bug report whenever I find the time
