I am not familiar with the gnome sensors applet. Does it say where it
is getting the data (driver name, device name...)?

The applet settings show a list of sensors under the libsensors name.
Those are the sensors that work on 2.6.21.1.

However the acpi and i2c section of the two config are
identical. I report the only selected options:

Power management options (ACPI, APM) --->
[*] Power Management support
[*] Software Suspend (Hibernation)
ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) Support --->
[*] ACPI Support
[*] Sleep States
<M> Button
<M> Video
<M> Fan
<M> Processor
<M> Thermal Zone
(0) Disable ACPI for systems before Jan 1st this year

Device Drivers --->
I2C support --->
<M> I2C device interface
I2C Hardware Bus support --->
<M> VIA VT82C596/82C686/82xx and CX700

You forgot to list the Hardware Monitoring support options.

Sorry. Here it is (they are identical in the two config):

Hardware Monitoring support --->
<*> Hardware Monitoring support
<*> Abit uGuru
<M> VIA686A
<*> IBM Hard Drive Active Protection System (hdaps)

But I'm quite sure that the only module used is VIA686A (I'm
rebuilding to confirm).

This is a rather bad idea to build the abituguru and hdaps drivers into
your kernel if you don't have these devices. Especially abituguru, as
it does arbitrary port probing.

The first column of lsmod list the same modules in both kernels. The
diff-ed dmesg is attached.

Please provide the output of lsmod.

If you are using one of the following drivers: lm78, smsc47b397,
smsc47m1, w83627hf or w83781d, you need lm_sensors >= 2.10.1
(libsensors.so.3.1.1 or later).

I've attached the lsmod for 2.6.22-rc.

You didn't.

I'm not using any of the listed drivers.

How strange, why are they loaded then?

However the lm-sensors package is version 2.10.1-3 and
libsensors.so.3.1.1 is on my system too (package libsensors3).

Can you please share the output of "sensors" under both kernels 2.6.21.1
and 2.6.22-rc1.

I would also be interested in a diff of /proc/ioports between 2.6.21.1
and 2.6.22-rc1.
