have a /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon* directory created for the asus_atk0110?
I'm adding Luca to Cc, your best chance is probably to send him your
DSDT in private and let him investigate.
If an updated BIOS exists for your motherboard, you may have to use it.
I have a /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0 directory, but it's for the k8temp module. If I unload k8temp and load asus_atk0110, there's no /sys/class/hwmon directory. I can't use a new BIOS because the newest one breaks boot-time USB support, so I'm using one version back. I had DSDT problems with this board with early version of the BIOS (I had to load a custom table in the kernel to fix the errors), but later BIOS versions fixed the problem. I'm sending my DSDT to Luca in a separate mail. Thanks for your help!
