It is named fam15h_power. But this driver is only available since
kernel 3.0.

Send us the summary output of sensors-detect as a starter, because at
this point we have no idea what hardware you have.

Kernel 2.6.32 isn't exactly new so it is no surprise that it wouldn't
support relatively recent hardware out of the box. I can only guess
that you previously had to build standalone flavors of the monitoring
drivers. This would explain the backup versions of these drivers. If
you reinstalled your system, you may have to build these standalone
drivers again. I have a k10temp driver here:

http://khali.linux-fr.org/devel/lm-sensors/drivers/k10temp/

and an it87 driver there:

http://khali.linux-fr.org/devel/lm-sensors/drivers/it87/

I can't remember how up-to-date they are exactly, let me know if have
problem building them or find bugs in them. Instructions are at:
