Well, that worked better. 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!
