+== AMD K8 support in 2.6.33 and 2.6.34 kernels ==
+
+Support for some rev. G desktop models of AMD K8 processor (driver k8temp) is broken on kernels 2.6.33 and 2.6.34. Unfortunately these kernels won't see any further stable updates, so you have to fix the problem yourself. Affected processors are models 108, 124 and 193 in AM2 socket format. If you are building your own kernel, simply add [http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=a05e93f3b3fc2f53c1d0de3b17019e207c482349 the missing fix]. If not, you have to add the following to your libsensors configuration file as a workaround:
+
+{{{
+chip "k8temp-*"
+
+    compute temp1 @+21, @-21
+    compute temp2 @+21, @-21
+    compute temp3 @+21, @-21
+    compute temp4 @+21, @-21
+}}}
+
+Don't forget to remove this once you upgrade to kernel 2.6.35 or later!
