32 I have a Gigabyte mobo here. There are two places that you have to
33 enable all the sensors tho. As was posted a bit ago, one is I2C Support
34 and one is Hardware Monitoring Support both of which are under Device
35 Drivers. Is it possible that you left one out?
36
37 If you built all the drivers in and it didn't work, then you may have to
38 wait on a newer kernel. If you are running a stable kernel, you may
39 want to try a unstable one since they are newer and may have the updated
40 drivers. I'm using 2.6.36 gentoo-sources here.

42 Hope that helps.
