I had no luck at all until I tried version 2.8.0 of both lm-sensors
and i2c. Make sure the i2c stuff in your kernel is removed if
compiled in or if it's built as modules it can stay there . After
emerging both lm-sensors-2.8.0 and i2c-2.8.0 (emerge i2c first),
rerun sensors-detect and it should be apparent pretty quickly that
it's going to work. You will get 1 or 2 extra modules loaded that
will give bad readings that won't change at all (maybe what's
happening to you) but you should get the right ones loaded as well.
My CPU temp and chipset temp were right when compared to a remote
thermocouple but some of my voltages were way off (+12V -12V & -5V
IIRC) so I slapped on the multimeter and reset the formulas in
sensors.conf. It's relatively easy to get sane readings but a bit
more dificult to get the readings to change acurately. Kernel version
is 2.4.20-gentoo-r7 I don't use mbmon but I do put up xmbmon when
compiling something. more often than not I will use "sensors" to
check everything at once.

as you can see from the 12 V readings, I have a bit more tuning to do
:-) and "fan 2" is intermittant
