First, I believe you need a full kernel tree -- not just headers.
Maybe I misread the docs on this, but I am pretty sure that's what it
says. It's not clear whether you have this. If not, I would think you
would get an error along the way ...

I believe if everything goes right, the modules should be installed in
/lib/modules-<kernel_ver>/misc. Look there. Mine show up in _both_
places, but the one that are used are from /lib/modules ...

I am loading everything in rc.local. Mine is cut/paste right from
sensors-detect. Use whatever it says. Are we both using BP6's? (I have
ACPI turned off. Not that that should make a difference.)
