Hi All,
I'm trying to get lm_sensors to work on a Shuttle with an AMD K10. The version of lm_sensors in the main CentOS repo is 2.10.7, which is two years old now. Support for the K10 was added about a year ago.
So, does anyone know if there are binaries available for more recent versions of lm_sensors?
Also, if anyone has knowledge of the sensors layout for recent Shuttle AMD motherboards, that would be very helpful. The sensors-detect script from 2.10.7 doesn't detect anything useful...
Thanks, --Bill

The version at ElRepo works with my Phenom II: http://elrepo.org/linux/elrepo/el5/i386/RPMS/lm_sensors-2.10.8-2.el5.elrepo....

ELRepo also has a kernel module for the AMD K10 core temperature sensor:

Many thanks to both Yves and Ned for the pointers. After installing lm_sensors-2.10.8.-2 from elrepo, then installing the necessary drivers (also from elrepo) for the sensors on my Shuttle SA76G2, the readings are now available. For anyone else who runs into this, the SA76G2 needs the it87 and k10temp kernel drivers.
Now I just have to get the ranges set correctly. Unfortunately, Shuttle publishes absolutely nothing in the way of documentation, and their tech support people refuse to provide information, claiming that it is proprietary. I guess I'll post it in their user forums once I figure which measurements are meaningful.
Thanks Again, --Bill

Since the elrepo kmod-k10temp/lm_sensors packages worked, then you may also benefit from the elrepo kmod-powernow-k8 package.
With AMD Phenom II quad-cores running centos 5, kmod-powernow-k8 typically gives a 8-10C drop in core temperature at idle and a significant reduction in power consumption at idle as described in this centos bug report:
http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=3766
You will also likely notice that your cpu fan slows down at idle. It is worth installing the kmod if just to quieten down the cpu fan.
As per the bug report, this issue should be fixed in rhel/centos 5.6

You're welcome.

The folks over at the lm_sensors list are very helpful in helping you figure out the configuration for your sensors.

FWIW, I've just installed these modules on my Gigabyte MA770-UD3 board with a Phenom-II X2. I'm seeing only the CPU temp, nothing else despite sensors-detect saying it found an it867 chip (and havng installed the kmod-it87 package).
But the CPU temp it shows agrees within one degree or so with what the BIOS reports when checked during a reboot, so it must be set up fairly cloe to right without me having to muck with anything.
(my previous board, another older Gigabyte with a 32-bit Athlon needed a lot of tweaking to get tolerably decent readings, so I'm pleased with what I've got now.)
I had no idea these things were available, so I think all those who have posted helpful information in this thread.
