Loading the 756 instead of the 8111 doesn't do any better. See below. So Philip may be right about needing a patch for the 8111 driver.
As a side note, I saw something somewhere about BMC so I tried making an IMPI kernel and loading the bmcsensors module, but that didn't turn up anything either.

This program will help you determine which I2C/SMBus modules you need to
load to use lm_sensors most effectively. You need to have i2c and
lm_sensors installed before running this program.
Also, you need to be `root', or at least have access to the /dev/i2c-*
files, for most things.
If you have patched your kernel and have some drivers built-in, you can
safely answer NO if asked to load some modules. In this case, things may
seem a bit confusing, but they will still work.
BIOS vendor (ACPI): PTLTD
System vendor (DMI): AMD
BIOS version (DMI): PMLC00-7
We can start with probing for (PCI) I2C or SMBus adapters.
You do not need any special privileges for this.
Do you want to probe now? (YES/no):
Probing for PCI bus adapters...
Use driver `i2c-amd8111' for device 00:07.2: AMD-8111 SMBus 2.0
Use driver `i2c-amd756' for device 00:07.3: AMD-8111 ACPI
Probe succesfully concluded.
We will now try to load each adapter module in turn.
Load `i2c-amd8111' (say NO if built into your kernel)? (YES/no): no
Load `i2c-amd756' (say NO if built into your kernel)? (YES/no):
/lib/modules/2.4.19MARipmi-NUMA/kernel/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-amd756.o: init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
/lib/modules/2.4.19MARipmi-NUMA/kernel/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-amd756.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.19MARipmi-NUMA/kernel/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-amd756.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.19MARipmi-NUMA/kernel/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-amd756.o: insmod i2c-amd756 failed
Loading failed... skipping.
Do you now want to be prompted for non-detectable adapters? (yes/NO):
To continue, we need module `i2c-dev' to be loaded.
If it is built-in into your kernel, you can safely skip this.
i2c-dev is not loaded. Do you want to load it now? (YES/no):
Module loaded succesfully.
We are now going to do the adapter probings. Some adapters may hang halfway
through; we can't really help that. Also, some chips will be double detected;
we choose the one with the highest confidence value in that case.
If you found that the adapter hung after probing a certain address, you can
specify that address to remain unprobed. That often
includes address 0x69 (clock chip).
Some chips are also accessible through the ISA bus. ISA probes are
typically a bit more dangerous, as we have to write to I/O ports to do
this. Do you want to scan the ISA bus? (YES/no):

Some Super I/O chips may also contain sensors. Super I/O probes are
typically a bit more dangerous, as we have to write to I/O ports to do
this. Do you want to scan for Super I/O sensors? (YES/no):

Sorry, no chips were detected.
Either your sensors are not supported, or they are
connected to an I2C bus adapter that we do not support.
