Any chance that you need to set CONFIG_I8K ?

config I8K
	tristate "Dell laptop support"
	---help---
	  This adds a driver to safely access the System Management Mode
	  of the CPU on the Dell Inspiron 8000. The System Management Mode
	  is used to read cpu temperature and cooling fan status and to
	  control the fans on the I8K portables.
