Well, you've done everything pretty much right so far --- however,
although you seem to have added all of the possible variants of SMBus
controller chips, your kernel isn't picking up the hardware on your
motherboard.  That might simply be because the exact chipset you have
isn't recognised, although from what you've said above, I'd expect the
amdpm driver to probe successfully.

What is the output of:

    pciconf -lv

please?

	Cheers,

PS. The 'device pcf0' entry in your kernel config is incorrect. It
should be:

    device pcf0 at isa? port? irq 5

however, that won't make a difference unless you actually have a
Philips PCF8584 I2C controller on your system.
