I guess this is what you meant

Probing for `Nat. Semi. PC87366 Super IO Fan Sensors'
  Success... found at address 0x0600
Probing for `Nat. Semi. PC87366 Super IO Voltage Sensors'
  Success... found at address 0x0620
Probing for `Nat. Semi. PC87366 Super IO Thermal Sensors'
  Success... found at address 0x0610

I do not really want to step back to a 2.4 kernel

That might be a bit beyond my skill, I will have a look though.
