   Problem loading a module

   Hi u all :)   
      
   On a gentoo ( kernel 2.6.19-r5 ), I'm trying to get lmsensors to   
   work.sensors-detect works fine, but when I try to load `w83627ehf' ,   
   I get :   
      
   "localhost lm_sensors-3.0.1 # modprobe w83627ehf   
   FATAL: Error inserting w83627ehf (/lib/modules/2.6.19-gentoo-r5/kernel/   
   drivers/hwmon/w83627ehf.ko): No such device"   
      
   in the ubuntu distro, lm-sensors works .   
      
   Here is part of sensors-detect output :   
   ******************************************   
   "Some Super I/O chips may also contain sensors. We have to write to   
   standard I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe.   
   Do you want to scan for Super I/O sensors? (YES/no):   
   Probing for Super-I/O at 0x2e/0x2f   
   Trying family `ITE'...                                      No   
   Trying family `National Semiconductor'...                   No   
   Trying family `SMSC'...                                     No   
   Trying family `VIA/Winbond/Fintek'...                       Yes   
   Found `Winbond W83627DHG Super IO Sensors'                  Success!   
       (address 0x290, driver `w83627ehf')   
   Probing for Super-I/O at 0x4e/0x4f   
   Trying family `ITE'...                                      No   
   Trying family `National Semiconductor'...                   No   
   Trying family `SMSC'...                                     No   
   Trying family `VIA/Winbond/Fintek'...                       No   
      
   Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done.   
   Just press ENTER to continue:   
      
   Driver `w83627ehf' (should be inserted):   
     Detects correctly:   
     * ISA bus address 0x0290 (Busdriver `i2c-isa')   
       Chip `Winbond W83627DHG Super IO Sensors' (confidence: 9)   
      
   I will now generate the commands needed to load the required modules.   
   Just press ENTER to continue:   
   .....   
   ....   
   ----cut here----   
   # I2C adapter drivers   
   # Chip drivers   
   modprobe w83627ehf   
   # sleep 2 # optional   
   /usr/bin/sensors -s # recommended   
   #----end cut here----   
   **************************************************   
   and, obviously :   
      
   "localhost lm_sensors-3.0.1 # sensors   
   No sensors found!   
   Make sure you loaded all the kernel drivers you need.   
   Try sensors-detect to find out which these are."   
      
   Any idea would be very welcome :)   
   Thanks a lot,
