Bug Description

In hardy through jaunty I used the i2c_i801 module with lm-sensors to read my CPU temperature. Now, dmesg reports the following error when I try to load it:

[64661.056023] ACPI: I/O resource 0000:00:1f.3 [0x3080-0x309f] conflicts with ACPI region SMB0 [0x3080-0x3097]
[64661.056028] ACPI: If an ACPI driver is available for this device, you should use it instead of the native driver
[64661.056037] i801_smbus: probe of 0000:00:1f.3 failed with error -16

sensors-detect doesn't recommend anything else anymore.

As a result, all the applications that monitor temperature on my system are failing.

To be clear, sensors-detect worked under hardy through jaunty.

This is more of a kernel issue.

For lack of a functioning driver, all sensors reports:

tv@katran:~$ sensors
acpitz-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1: +60.0°C (crit = +255.0°C)

tv@katran:~$

temp1 always reads 60, whereas the temperature that was read with other drivers pre-karmic always varied with system utilization.
