Hmm, sorry, i think i made a mistake that i have not snipped the "WARNING ..." part.
I know nothing about it at all ;)

And my reply is for "doesn't show the voltage after patch w83627ehf",
Jean, why it still can not show the voltages :(

Ah, my mistake, I missed _that_ part of Daan's anwser ;)

For "sensors" to display the voltages, Daan will need the SVN version
of lm_sensors. 2.10.0 didn't have support for them.

The easiest way to verify if the patch itself worked, is to check
manually in /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/device/. If you have the in* files,
it's OK, and you simply need a newer version of user-space. You can get
snapshots here:

Thanks for the remark! That indeed seems the case, as I do have the in* 
files there ;) I am using 2.10.0-7 lm-sensors, as currently provided in 
Debian etch/testing. Thanks a lot for the support!

Right, so the patch appears to work just fine... when will it be 
submitted for inclusion in the vanilla kernel series?
I guess more people are waiting for this support..

It's already in, 2.6.18 will be the first released kernel have it.
