Z8NA and lm_sensors, again

So I was setting up another Z8NA and wanted to get sensors working. After running around in circles, I simply installed from source and now it Just Works. Which is so much better, compared to last times results. BTW, I also install lm-sensors 3.3.4 by hand from source and got a z8na.conf from here.

cd ~/work/sys
wget http://khali.linux-fr.org/devel/lm-sensors/config/sensors3-Asus-Z8NA-D6.conf 
sudo cp sensors3-Asus-Z8NA-D6.conf /etc/sensors.d/z8na.conf
wget http://dl.lm-sensors.org/lm-sensors/releases/lm_sensors-3.3.4.tar.bz2
tar jxvf lm_sensors-3.3.4.tar.bz2
cd lm_sensors-3.3.4
make
sudo make install
sudo sensors-detect
sudo sensors -s
sudo sensors

For what its worth, kmod-w83795 RPMs are available in my repo.

Z8NA-D6 and lm-sensors

The ASUS Z9NA-D6 motherboard uses a w83795 chip for lm-sensors. Asus provides binary drivers, and then only for CentOS 5.4. On 5.6, you'll need these drivers. I've tested and they work on CentOS 5.6, 2.6.18-238.9.1.el5 x86_64. However, while sensors sees the chip, it doesn't manage to read the values. Must poke at it further.

Update: I finally got it working.
