[Bug 500077] Re: k10temp: there is no support for k10-thermal-sensors in kernel 2.6.32

[Ancoron Luziferis]

I have been using the k10temp (built manually) since kernel 2.6.31
within several different Ubuntu installations with success.

As Ubuntu Lucid is going to be an LTS release there is no reason not
supporting this sensor. As it is included in the final 2.6.33 kernel it
can be seen as being stable enough.

Ubuntu Lucid will be installed on a lot of servers and most of the
installations on AMD systems will be using a K10 processor, namely
Opteron. Lm-sensors is used often as a base for collecting sensor data
for monitoring and thermal data is one of the very vital things in
server environments.

I followed all those discussions and the progress of KMS/DRM/GPU stuff
going backported into 2.6.32. So this little tool would be the least of
all the problems that may be introduced by backporting.

I for myself am not asking for a 2.6.32 patch. I would rather see it in
the backports-modules section. As most vital hardware does provide other
sensors via SMBus or the like I don't think that it is vital to exist in
the basic kernel image.

This is not criticism, I just want to push it to exist somewhere in the
official repositories.
