OK, I have found the modules in 
/lib/modules/[version]/kernel/drivers/sensors and 
/lib/modules/[version]/kernel/drivers/i2c. But I can't get them to be 
modprobed, as in:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] i2c]# modprobe i2c-amd756.o.gz
modprobe: Can't locate module i2c-amd756.o.gz

And 

[EMAIL PROTECTED] sensors]# modprobe adm1021.o.gz
modprobe: Can't locate module adm1021.o.gz

What's going on? The files are right where they are said to be, and I 
can use [Tab] to autocomplete them. But modprobe can't find them. 
Sigh.

I have checked out my mobo, an Asus A7N8X, and it is said to use an 
ASB100 sensor chip, Asus1 case chip, and and Asus2 and W83L785T5-S 
for the CPU socket and diode.
