You should read the doc on the wiki (lcd4linux.bulix.org) :
- if you have a 2.4.x kernel, L4L looks in /proc/sys/dev/sensors/ and
hopes to find a link to the sensors. Be sure to have /proc mounted and
i2c-proc loaded (if I recall well)
- if you have a 2.6.x kernel, L4L looks in /sys/bus/i2c/devices/ and
tries to find an entry with a temp_input1. The only reason for it to
fail is not to have a temp_input1 provided by your driver.
Browse /sys/bus/i2c/devices/ directories to guess. Oh ! And if you don't
have /sys mounted, it'll fail :)

If you find your sensors via procfs or sysfs and L4L fails, you can
force the detection with the i2c_sensors-path configuration token, for
example:
 * for sysfs:  i2c_sensors-path '/sys/bus/i2c/devices/0-6000/'
 * for procfs: i2c_sensors-path '/proc/sys/dev/sensors/via686a-isa-6000'

Bye !
