relies on lm_sensors according to the homepage. (and sys_fs, AFAIK 
lm_sensors picks up sys_fs if it's available.)

I'm having the same problems with lm_sensors with newer motherboards (ones 
from the last two years), some work, some don't. On some AMD motherboards 
it helps to "rmmod k8temp" to get a reading. On some it doesn't.
I have one Intel board with I think Intel 5000X where lm_sensors also 
fails with a message like "no sys_fs" or so, I don't really remember.
Do others know any tricks to get the data nevertheless?
I think the kernel and lm_sensors on Centos 5 are simply too old for some 
chipsets. Also, there's sometimes a discrepancy between the support in the 
kernel and in lm_sensors.
