Fedora 11 lm_sensors on ASUS MB solved

[Tony Nelson]

In F9, lm_sensors worked, but in F11, it said "no sensors detected".  
Eventually I found

<http://lists.lm-sensors.org/pipermail/lm-sensors/2009-
January/025063.html>

which showed that the lm_sensors developers had broken lm_sensors on 
purpose for (all?) ASUS motherboards, with an unfinished "improvement".

To get lm_sensors working again, add the following to the Grub kernel 
boot line:

    acpi_enforce_resources=lax

This returns ACPI enforcement to it's previous unchecked state, which 
is still used for all other motherboard manufacturers, according to the 
thread linked above.

Also ensure that the needed modules are loaded, which may require the 
new syntax in /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors.
