something about the lm_sensors issue: according to http://www.lm-sensors.org/ a new package is required because of k8_temp
"December 5th, 2006: Note to k8temp users. The Linux 2.6.19 kernel features a new hardware monitoring driver, k8temp, which supports all recent AMD K8 CPUs. The driver will load automatically on supported systems. Due to technical specificities of this driver, upgrade to lm_sensors 2.10.1 is mandatory. Older versions of libsensors will fail with a "General parse error" message. If you can't upgrade lm_sensors for any reason, you'll have to blacklist the k8temp driver to prevent it from being loaded. Thanks to Artem S. Tashkinov for notifying us. " *
