The impisensor driver is abandoned for years. I won't look into it as I have many other drivers to work on and I don't have supported hardware. In the meantime, my recommendation is to use ipmitool. It is _not_ integrated with libsensors, but other than that, it should report the sensor values properly. > > 4) Why is sensors-detect able to detect the sensor via the coretemp > > driver, but modprobe not able to load it? > > Because your version of the coretemp driver is old and doesn't support > your CPU. > > > 5) Is there something else that I should be doing? > > > Easiest would be if you could switch to a recent kernel (2.6.37 or at > least 2.6.36). Otherwise you'll have to backport the coretemp driver (as > Jean has tried) as well as the jc42 driver.
