The "libsensors init OK" line says that lm_sensors is being used and it
has apparently detected an it8718 chip.

And again lm_sensors initializes to an it8718 chip independent of
whether you have the 7473 module loaded.

Do you also have a it8718 module loaded?  Look in the directory
/sys/devices/platform and see if there are directories for the 7473 and
it8718.  Well, it seems you will have the 8718 directory, but I don't know
why if you have a different chip.  If you do have the 7473 directory also, you
could try running:  gkrellm -d 0x80 --without-libsensors
and see what gkrellm tries to do :)

If neither lm_sensors or gkrellm knows about the adt7473 chip, voltage factors
will most likely be wrong and you will probably need to track down what the
scaling factors need to be for the various inX voltages.  To be able to adjust the
scaling factors you will need to be running gkrellm -without-libsensors because
gkrellm expects that when lm_sensors is being used, it knows what it is doing
and will have scaled everything correctly.
