Comment 4 for bug 475641

On April 23, 2010
I have downloaded current LiveCD versions of Ubuntu and tested the following:

ubuntu-8.04.4-desktop-amd64.iso
ubuntu-9.10-desktop-amd64.iso
ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso

After setting up USB-Flash versions of each

I booted up USB-LiveCD
sudo apt-get install lm-sensors
sudo /usr/sbin/sensors-detect (accepted all defaults)
rebooted
sudo pwnconfig
sudo sensors -s
sudo sensors

When running the 8.04.4 - AMD64 version:
     pwmconfig detected the motherboard modules, and
     sensors reported their status.

When running either 9.10 - 386 or AMD64 versions:
     pwmconfig said no modules detected
     sensors reported only the AMD-K8temp CPU temps
