Make sure that the mainboard really does support SMBus -- it turns out that
this is optional. The ICH docs talk about a bit that should be enabled in the
PCI config when SMB is present. I ran into this once, it should be documented
in the archives (of -current off the top of my head). OTOH, I didn't even
succeed in getting an ichsmb device probed so this might be something totally
unrelated.
FWIW, I had to try other ways to get the temperature (xmbmon & related). I
don't have the box anymore or I'd show you the exact config...
