[gentoo-user] lm_sensors and w83627hf not loadable

[Harry Putnam]

I see lots of bug reports about this in several linux OSs but not able
to see a solution.

I've make the propers kernel settings and the w83627hf modules is
built and available in /lib/modules/*
I tried rebuilding the kernel with that stuff built-in.  but then
lm_sensors couldn't even find tools to work with when running
 sensors-detect

  So calling `sensors' just in case it would work:
    # sensors
  No sensors found!
  Make sure you loaded all the kernel drivers you need.
  Try sensors-detect to find out which these are.

Back to a modular kernel:
lm_sensors tells me that w83627hf is the one to load in
/etc/conf.d/lm_sensors.

But any attempt to load it meets with this result (wrapped for mail):
modprobe w83627hf
  FATAL: Error inserting w83627hf 
  (/lib/modules/2.6.33-gentoo/kernel/drivers/hwmon/w83627hf.ko):
   Device or resource busy

Looking at dmesg after running the above command, I find lines like
these (repeated several times):
 [ 1321.715673] w83627hf: Found W83627THF chip at 0x290

 [ 1321.715712] ACPI: I/O resource w83627hf [0x295-0x296] conflicts
 with ACPI region HWMT [0x295-0x296]

 [ 1321.715716] ACPI: If an ACPI driver is available for this device,
 you should use it instead of the native driver

-------        ---------       ---=---       ---------      -------- 

So anyone know what is wrong here?
