I have the same mobo and did the following steps
(potato 2.2.12)
1. install the lm-sensors, lm-sensors-source and libsensors0 debs
2. install your kernel source if you haven't already
3. patch your kernel following the instructions in
/usr/src/modules/lm-sensors/README.package
4. cd to /usr/src/linux and make clean
5. make xconfig -- you should see some new options :)
6. pick the following
under I2C support selsect
i2c-support as module
i2c-mainboard interfaces as Y
Pseudo isa as module
i2c device interface as module
under hardware sensor support
hardware sensor support as module
lm78 as module (my motherboard has an lm79 which uses the
lm78 driver)
7. make modules, make modules_install
8. run sensor-detect as root -- you will get some output from this
to add to your /etc/modules file -- I didn't have to add anything
to the other file as the packages already seemed to have done it.
9. load your modules (I just rebooted as I have the auto option
in /etc/modules)
10. type "sensors" to test.
It worked for me :) YMMV
