Are the sensors driven by ACPI? Probably yes, otherwise they would be unable to shut down the system.

That sounds like a BIOS problem, right? If the piece of hardware is driven by BIOS, Linux can't be responsible for saving/restoring it. Pavel -- (english) http://www.livejournal.com/~pavelmachek (cesky, pictures) http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~pavel/picture/horses/blog.html
