Just some data points for you. I have a VIA 686 chip which is reporting the temperature ok. A few alterations were needed for the sensors.conf This is the default output, version 2.6.3. # sensors eeprom-i2c-0-50 Adapter: SMBus Via Pro adapter at 5000 Algorithm: Non-I2C SMBus adapter via686a-isa-6000 Adapter: ISA adapter Algorithm: ISA algorithm CPU core: +1.78 V (min = +1.98 V, max = +2.49 V) ALARM +2.5V: +1.53 V (min = +2.24 V, max = +2.74 V) ALARM I/O: +3.40 V (min = +2.95 V, max = +3.62 V) +5V: +4.82 V (min = +4.47 V, max = +5.49 V) +12V: +12.10 V (min = +10.79 V, max = +13.18 V) CPU Fan: 4821 RPM (min = 3000 RPM, div = 2) P/S Fan: 0 RPM (min = 3000 RPM, div = 2) SYS Temp: +49.4?C (limit = +40?C, hysteresis = +45?C) ALARM CPU Temp: +27.9?C (limit = +55?C, hysteresis = +60?C) SBr Temp: +21.0?C (limit = +60?C, hysteresis = +65?C) my case the following needed to be done CPU/SYS Temp need to be swapped.

The lspci -vv is below if it's of any use, minus the 2xethernet, IDE and AGP card. 00:00.0 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-760 [Irongate] System Controller (rev 13) Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- Status: Cap+ 66Mhz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort+ >SERR- <PERR- Latency: 32 Region 0: Memory at d0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=128M] Region 1: Memory at df001000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=4K] Region 2: I/O ports at a000 [disabled] [size=4] Capabilities: [a0] AGP version 2.0 Status: RQ=15 SBA+ 64bit- FW+ Rate=x1,x2 Command: RQ=0 SBA+ AGP+ 64bit- FW- Rate=x1 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-760 [Irongate] AGP Bridge (prog-if 00 [Normal decode]) Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR+ FastB2B- Status: Cap- 66Mhz+ UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- Latency: 32 Bus: primary=00, secondary=01, subordinate=01, sec-latency=32 I/O behind bridge: 00009000-00009fff Memory behind bridge: dc000000-ddffffff Prefetchable memory behind bridge: d8000000-dbffffff BridgeCtl: Parity- SERR+ NoISA+ VGA+ MAbort- >Reset- FastB2B- 00:07.0 ISA bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc.
