Don't use any of the programs in the lm-sensors packagae - sensors-detect,
in particular, is evil wrt  to thinkpads. Once you're up and running, if you
want to be extra safe, compile i2c support out of your kernel.

As far as I know, none of these programs are run automatically, so you
should be able to install your distro of choice and then remove the
offending binaries.
