So you have an LM80 at 0x28 (== 0x50 >> 1), you should be able to adjust the calculations in sensors.conf to get good readings. You may need external resistor values from the board manufacturer to be sure. Whatever is at 0x2e is not an LM80. You can either ignore it or try and find out what it really is.
