I see lots of bug reports about this in several linux OSs but not able
to see a solution.

I've make the propers kernel settings and the w83627hf modules is
built and available in /lib/modules/*
I tried rebuilding the kernel with that stuff built-in.  but then
lm_sensors couldn't even find tools to work with when running
 sensors-detect

  So calling `sensors' just in case it would work:
    # sensors
  No sensors found!
  Make sure you loaded all the kernel drivers you need.
  Try sensors-detect to find out which these are.

Back to a modular kernel:
lm_sensors tells me that w83627hf is the one to load in
/etc/conf.d/lm_sensors.

But any attempt to load it meets with this result (wrapped for mail):
modprobe w83627hf
  FATAL: Error inserting w83627hf 
  (/lib/modules/2.6.33-gentoo/kernel/drivers/hwmon/w83627hf.ko):
   Device or resource busy

Looking at dmesg after running the above command, I find lines like
these (repeated several times):
 [ 1321.715673] w83627hf: Found W83627THF chip at 0x290

 [ 1321.715712] ACPI: I/O resource w83627hf [0x295-0x296] conflicts
 with ACPI region HWMT [0x295-0x296]

 [ 1321.715716] ACPI: If an ACPI driver is available for this device,
 you should use it instead of the native driver

-------        ---------       ---=---       ---------      -------- 

So anyone know what is wrong here?

Sorry about the second printing just to show kernel version

I can only report that I've built a 2.6.33-gentoo kernel with
the device (sensors) Winbond W83627EHF/EF/EHG/EG
built in (not just a module), then ran sensors-detect
and now, xsensor works just fine (on a Phenom-II)

In my version of 2.6.33-gentoo  I don't see that as a choice in
make menuconfig... none of the winbond lines match what you show
above.  The last one below is closest and as you see I have built it
in.

  | |        <*>   Winbond W83627HF, W83627THF, W83637HF, W83687THF, W83697HF               | |

But as you can see I've built in the last two.

After installing that kernel and reboot

The tail of:
  sensors-detect

  [...]
  
  Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done.
  Just press ENTER to continue: 
  
  Driver `w83627hf':
    * ISA bus, address 0x290
      Chip `Winbond W83627THF/THG Super IO Sensors' (confidence: 9)
  
  Warning: the required module w83627hf is not currently installed
  on your system. If it is built into the kernel then it's OK.
  Otherwise, check http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/Devices for
  driver availability.
  
  No modules to load, skipping modules configuration.
  
  Unloading i2c-dev... OK

And following with:

  # sensors

 No sensors found!
 Make sure you loaded all the kernel drivers you need.
 Try sensors-detect to find out which these are.

What motheboard are you running:

Here is what `lshw', followed `hwinfo' had to say about my motherboard
Or at least I think thats what this output is:

Hi Harry,

first of all,
have you enabled
Device-Drivers/Hardware monitoring support/  
AMD Phenom/Sempron/Turion/Opteron temperature sensor ?

and then
 Winbond W83627EHF/EHG/DHG, W83667HG  

I have an ASRock  M3A790GXH/128M board.

I'm running the 2.6.33-gentoo kernel, as well.
(It's the first one to support the Phenom (K10) temperature
sensor.)

Helmut.

Well since I asked about a problem now to occur with a different
driver all together:

From OP:
  But any attempt to load it meets with this result (wrapped for mail):
  modprobe w83627hf
    FATAL: Error inserting w83627hf 
    (/lib/modules/2.6.33-gentoo/kernel/drivers/hwmon/w83627hf.ko):
    Device or resource busy

Then the fact that you were able to get yours to work is not really relevant
to the question.

Thanks for the input... but may not be very useful here.

I'm hoping someone else has hit the problem I posted about and has
worked out some way to get it to work.
