Here is the pertinent output: Driver `coretemp': * Chip `Intel Core family thermal sensor' (confidence: 9) Driver `ipmisensors': * ISA bus, address 0xca8 Chip `IPMI BMC KCS' (confidence: 8) However, it seems these drivers are not loaded. In looking at the Drivers wiki, it seems kernel patches may be needed. However, I've not done that before. Can some kind person provide a step-by- step on what I need to do to get lm-sensors working? My OS again is CentOS 5.3, kernel 2.6.18-128.1.6.el5 Thanks for any help!
