Hi Martin,
I haven't had a chance to test the CVS version of bmcsensors yet on my
IPMI machines (hence why its not released), but it basically differs
in a patch submitted by someone to use the i2c_client addr instead of
the now defunct id.
What version of sensors are you using? It looks like its crashing
while trying to read the sysfs attributes, try cating the sysfs
entries the driver creates and see if you can see anything unusual.
Thanks,
Yani
