Try forcing another access method. With the standard method my mobo also
give bogus values:

  slackbox:~$ mbmon -c1   
  Temp.= 127.0, 127.0,  0.0; Rot.=    0,    0,    0
  Vcore = 0.00, 0.00; Volt. = 0.00, 0.00,  0.00,   0.00,  0.00

Forcing access via an ISA port gives the correct result:

  slackbox:~$ mbmon -c1 -I
  Temp.= 26.0, 39.5, 21.5; Rot.= 1117, 2280,    0
  Vcore = 1.39, 2.99; Volt. = 3.34, 5.05, 15.50,   1.54, -6.10

Hope this helps,

Roland
