Hi guys. I eventually got this to work with the help from someone. I
didn't need to install i2c and lm_sensors stuff. I just needed to run
sensors command with the stuff from Red Hat Linux 7.2 installation.
I'm sorry if I wasted your guys' time. :( I know if I have to upgrade
Kernel, I will have to compile i2c and lm_sensors packages. Hopefully, I
won't run into problems again.
I appreciate your help and I did learn something.
