Ok, I think you are missing some modules - here's mine

it87                   16205  0               (mobo sensor mod)
eeprom                  6217  0
i2c_sensor              2369  2 it87,eeprom   (main i2c mod)
i2c_isa                 1985  0               (isa bus mod)
i2c_viapro              5837  0               (mobo superchip mod)
i2c_core               17345  5 it87,eeprom,i2c_sensor,i2c_isa,\
      i2c_viapro

Did you start lm_sensors as root [ $ sudo sensors-detect ]

Is there a
              /etc/rc.d/init.d/lm_sensors
              /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors

in your  /etc

and this in /etc/rc.local or /etc/rc.d/rc.local

# I2C adapter drivers
modprobe i2c-viapro
modprobe i2c-isa
# I2C chip drivers
modprobe eeprom
modprobe it87
# sleep 2 # optional
/usr/bin/sensors -s # recommended

or something similar.
