Re: [gentoo-user] Re: lm_sensors and w83627hf not loadable

[Helmut Jarausch]

Hi Harry,

first of all,
have you enabled
Device-Drivers/Hardware monitoring support/  
AMD Phenom/Sempron/Turion/Opteron temperature sensor ?

and then
 Winbond W83627EHF/EHG/DHG, W83667HG  

I have an ASRock  M3A790GXH/128M board.

I'm running the 2.6.33-gentoo kernel, as well.
(It's the first one to support the Phenom (K10) temperature
sensor.)

Helmut.
