Created attachment 348136 [details] /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors Description of problem: sensors only show the following info. In fedora 10 showed FAN speed, voltages... k8temp-pci-00c3 Adapter: PCI adapter Core0 Temp: +37.0°C Core1 Temp: +39.0°C It doesn't load the w83627hf driver. [root@localhost ~]# modprobe w83627hf FATAL: Error inserting w83627hf (/lib/modules/2.6.29.4-167.fc11.i686.PAE/kernel/drivers/hwmon/w83627hf.ko): Device or resource busy Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): lm_sensors-3.1.0-1.fc11.i586 kernel-PAE-2.6.29.4-167.fc11.i686 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run sensors-detect 2. Run sensors (only k8temp info showing) 3. Run modprobe w83627hf (error loading module) Actual results: [root@localhost ~]# sensors k8temp-pci-00c3 Adapter: PCI adapter Core0 Temp: +37.0°C Core1 Temp: +39.0°C Expected results: Information provided by the w83627hf chipset about voltage, fan speed, mobo temp...

It's in the attachment but my motherboard is: Abit KN8 http://www.abit.com.tw/page/en/motherboard/motherboard_detail.php?pMODEL_NAME=KN8&fMTYPE=Socket+939 Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ If more info is needed tell me and I will get ASAP. Thanks
Can you please do "dmesg" after trying to load the w83627hf module and paste the last 20 or so lines here?

As the last messages show, the driver is loading as the BIOS claims it uses the IO-ports of the hwmon IC. This is a new check we're doing (which we should have done in the past too), as BIOS code now a days through ACPI is still active when the system is booted, and poking registers of an IC used by the BIOS at the same time is a *bad* idea. You can return to the old (unsafe) behaviour by adding: acpi_enforce_resource=lax to the kernel commandline.
