Nothing in /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/ on the AMD system I'm using at the
moment.  But, just like on my home system which is a pentium 4 the
sensors data is in a different location.

[root@crick device]# cat /proc/cpuinfo |grep AMD
vendor_id       : AuthenticAMD
model name      : AMD Athlon(tm) Processor
Linux crick.bio.whe.umb.edu 2.6.25.4-10.fc8 #1 SMP Thu May 22 23:34:09
EDT 2008 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
acpid.i386                               1.0.6-5.fc8
lm_sensors.i386                          2.10.6-1.fc8

[root@crick device]# ls -laR /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/
/proc/acpi/thermal_zone/:
total 0
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 2008-06-13 16:02 .
dr-xr-xr-x 8 root root 0 2008-06-10 13:53 ..

Meanwhile, just like on my pentium 4 at home there are sensor files elsewhere:

# ls /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/device
alarms       fan1_div    fan3_alarm    in0_input  in2_alarm  in3_max
 in5_beep   in6_min      temp1_max       temp3_beep
beep_enable  fan1_input  fan3_beep     in0_max    in2_beep   in3_min
 in5_input  modalias     temp1_max_hyst  temp3_input
beep_mask    fan1_min    fan3_div      in0_min    in2_input  in4_alarm
 in5_max    name         temp2_alarm     temp3_max
bus          fan2_alarm  fan3_input    in1_alarm  in2_max    in4_beep
 in5_min    power        temp2_beep      temp3_max_hyst
cpu0_vid     fan2_beep   fan3_min      in1_beep   in2_min    in4_input
 in6_alarm  subsystem    temp2_input     uevent
driver       fan2_div    hwmon:hwmon0  in1_input  in3_alarm  in4_max
 in6_beep   temp1_alarm  temp2_max       vrm
fan1_alarm   fan2_input  in0_alarm     in1_max    in3_beep   in4_min
 in6_input  temp1_beep   temp2_max_hyst
fan1_beep    fan2_min    in0_beep      in1_min    in3_input  in5_alarm
 in6_max    temp1_input  temp3_alarm

the values in the _input files correspond to the values displayed by
the sensors program..
