My bad.  Although I will redo the hwmon patches soon anyway, here is a
patch that you can apply (after reapplying the above) that should get
you working again.  BTW: I tested it on almost identical h/w as yours,
this time with the same relevant config options, against 2.6.12-rc5-mm1.
This applies to -rc6-mm1.

---------------

This patch fixes an init order bug between hwmon and i2c/chips,
without which many sensors drivers will not initialize properly
(in non-modular systems).
