Make sure sensors is setup correctly, as root or su type sensors-detect in a terminal and follow the prompts. Copy and paste the detected sensor to /etc/modules.conf and I installed the modprobe commands to /etc/init.d/boot.local

If all goes well at a terminal as a normal user or root type sensors. Output similar to the following will be displayed:

dependent of course on your motherboard. Mine is Abit BE6-II with winbond. Install Gkrellm from the Suse CD's. It will work under kDe or any other GUI. Right click Gkrellm go to configuration, builtins, sensors. You should find at least setup, voltages and info menues. Toggle the buttons for CPU voltage to be displayed and apply. The fields with a blank label, need a name before they can be displayed. On my gktrellm temp 1 was blank, I called it CPU temp and hit apply, similarly for other sensors. All in all a nice little application. Hope that helps.

Ok Stig, I realise now that you must still be on the original kernel with 8.0 so the sensors module is not in by default.

You need to put the first part in /etc/init.r/boot.local :

# I2C adapter drivers
modprobe i2c-isa
# I2C chip drivers
modprobe sis5595

and the last can be pit at the bottom of /etc/modules.conf :

# I2C module options
alias char-major-89 i2c-dev

I take it you did say yes to generate the config file at the end.

and that should then be it. after the next boot it will load them automatically

or you could try by hand after you have added the line to modules.conf do a (as root)

modprobe i2c-isa
modprobe sis5595

and see if you can get anything from sensors.
