Well from the unresolved symbols one sees that i2c is not installed 
either as modules or in the current running kernel.
So one goes through everything that could use i2c and there really is 
not that many of those. The most logical choice is lm_sensors.

What I coomented in the previous mail was that when you tested 
lm_sensors had you back then enabled i2c support, because if you did 
not then most likely lm_sensors can't work , because most sensors can 
only be accessed through i2c bus.
