/sys/class/hwmon/(hwmon0,hwmon1) gets mixed up randomly at boot

I'm not sure this is a hardware problem, but it was the best fitting category.

I have an eeepc 1005HA.

I have conky showing cpu temp and fan speed, but a little less than half of my boots the files conky reads get mixed up with each other and conky can't start.
fancontrol won't work either, as it reads from hwmon0/ usually and (I guess) writes to hwmon1/ as the fan speed setting is there.

I also don't think the suspend function works when it boots 'wrong', but I've forgotten to test it.

It would be nice to get it straightened out.

Have you tried what I said worked for me in that thread?

Oops, sorry, I searched around to see if someone had the same problem a couple of weeks ago, before that thread was started. Didn't do another search now for some reason, bad bad internet manners!

Anyway, sensors-detect doesn't detect any sensors, and states that it's perfectly normal as thermal management often is handled by ACPI rather than OS.

It doesn't create /etc/conf.d/lm_sensors either then, so that's not a fix for me.
