If the kernel already can't load the module this is more likely to be a kernel problem than a lm_sensors problem, so i'm reassigning the bug to kernel. Read ya, Phil Created attachment 312670 [details]
driver refresh from upstream
Can someone possibly test this driver refresh patch on the affected hardware?

new patch... fixed a simple build warning in prior patch.
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed products. This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update release. is there any chance that this will be in any 5.3 updates or only in 5.4. without this these sensors are not useable and there are many such motherboards:-( and as we can't access to 467994 we can't even manually patch these packages:-( I posted a workaround for this issue on the Centos forums. https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=21645&forum=38 Regards, Gijsbert This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release.
