 So if you have one of those CPU revisions I guess you're out of luck?
 The chipset on my main rig (Asus m/b) is running a Intel chipset... I
 have only older AMD CPUs (Athlon X2 BE2400) with Gigabyte motherboards

Well, I added CONFIG_SENSORS_ATK0110=y to my 940/M4A79DX setup and
gkrellm doesn't show anything. That was one test only, so take it with a
grain of salt.

 Use the ACPI module (appropriate for your motherboard) instead of the
 it87 module. For example my motherboard (asus P5E64WS) uses the atk0110
 (acpi) module... you find it under these conditions (make menuconfig):

I just saw, this weekend in fact, that the newer Phenoms, in fact most
of the recent K10 CPUs, do not work accurately with the atk0110 so when
the driver starts to load, it flatly refuses. I have a 9750 Phenom and

You're right, Peter. I have two M4A79 Deluxe mobos, one with the Deneb
940 and that's where I get the error when I try to use the k10temp
module. The other runs the 9750 Agena and uses the asus_atk0110 module
and works okay. Both are amd64 running 2.6.34. I'll reboot the 940 and
see if that module works.

I've the same problem and I solved it by adding
acpi_enforce_resources=lax to my kernel parameters in bootloader.
I know that it's not safe way, but it's faster then configure
lm_sensors by hand.
