I haven't been able to get lmsensors to report CPU temps on my Abit AB9
Pro, the voltages seem to be reported but not the temps. I'm using a
custom 2.6.20.1 kernel on FC6. I made sure that I built the abituguru
module when I built my kernel and I did a modprobe abituguru so I know
it's loaded. I'm using sensors 2.10.1 which is what FC6 uses, the latest
lmsensors is 2.10.2, I don't know if it's any better.
