lm_sensors/sysfs problem (kernel 2.6.17.13)

I've got an old HP Vectra Vli8 slim here acting as a router/firewall/access point. Now, I'm having problems configuring i2c/lm_sensors on this little thing.
During sensors-detect, all goes well. It detects i2c_piix4 as the bus driver and a bunch of eeprom thingies. Note: it doesn't detect any real sensors, I don't really know why It's an old piece oh hardware and it should have some... But, that's not the point of my main concern.

I can't get sensors -s to run properly. It says:

Can't access procfs/sysfs file
Unable to find i2c bus information;
For 2.6 kernels, make sure you have mounted sysfs and libsensors
was compiled with sysfs support!
For older kernels, make sure you have done 'modprobe i2c-proc'

Now, the funny thing is: I've got sysfs mounted. What's more, I even get the eeprom devices listed there:

/sys/bus/i2c
|-- devices
|   |-- 0-0050 -> ../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:04.3/i2c-0/0-0050

        |-- module -> ../../../../module/i2c_core

lsmod | grep i2c

i2c_dev                 7684  0
i2c_piix4               8080  0
i2c_core               17536  5 eeprom,i2c_dev,i2c_piix4

Could anyone help me on this one? Sysfs is definetly mounted, even mtab points this out.
