Chris, thanks for your answer, I spent most of yesterday googling and looking at the lm-sensors website. I found various module packages, but never did actually find one for my Kernel, but I also never ever found anything that actually stated what you have said. Maybe I am just blind. What also was not clear was how the Debian package I got via apt-get related to what I would get if I had just got the lm-sensors packages and compiled everything myself. I tried looking for other Debian packages via APT that may have had the modules, without any luck.
Still now I really do know what I am looking for.
Cheers Brian

Hi, I am currently trying to get lm_sensors installed. Sensors-detect seemed to go OK. In fact all seems to be going OK until the IT87 modules should be loaded. There I get "module not found". And sure enough the module is not there.
Reading much of the lm_sensors stuff did not tell me where the module should come from, especially where the correct one for my machine etc should come from.
I was installing the lm-sensors 2.8.6-11 package for Debian. Looking in that package file I saw no obvious modules in there.
So could someone please point me to where the module should normally come from, and also where it would normally be placed too?
Did you try Googling? What did you find? Or how about the archives of this mailing list? This has been discussed here many times.
Briefly: the lm-sensors packages, as the package description says, contains *utilities* for reading the sensors. It doesn't contain the actual kernel modules necessary. For that, you're going to need to download either one of the module packages ("lm-sensors-kernelversion") if you're running a stock Debian kernel, or build your own from the package lm-sensors-source if you've got a custom kernel. You'll also need i2c modules ("i2c-kernelversion" or "i2c-source") as well.
