Question
I am using the Subject: w83795G driver with your H8DGU-F motherboard and lm_sensors. It all works fine initially; however as time passes the following errors start accumulating in dmesg log. I have been reading that there is some conflict with the BMC device on this motherboard (a bad design is what they say) and it may not be possible to use this device driver to monitor the sensors with the H8DGU-F. Is there any solution to this problem?

Answer
Cannot use lm_sensors. It’s known limitation of i2c bus that two masters cannot access this device at the same time. In this case BMC is master and other master is south bridge (thru lm_sensors). You can use ipmitool locally to monitor the system health information.
