Hi Greg, I have some experience with lm_sensors. And you are correct that the 2.10.x release is required for many currrent system boards and recent kernels. But that isn't enough, depending on your system board. In particular, I have seen some cases where the temperatures are mislabeled. Unless the system board manufacturer gives you a configuration file, you might need to verify the mapping of the temperature labels to specific devices. YMMV.
