Thanks for the replies. Debian has a kernel with additional matching
packages for i2c and lm-sensors available so I used Debians packages.

I realized that I had to deal with i2c & lm-sensors , the source package
for lm-sensors wouldn't compile for me, errors on amd8111, but
fortunately, the precompiled packages were available.
