Thank you! It is now working. I removed the eeprom module. What is this 
module? I put it in my /etc/rc.local after running sensors-detect but it 
seems to be unused by my system... I had alse to disable lm_sensors 
services to prevent the loading of this module, so I don't know for what 
these services are useful.

Thanks for helping.
