Usually you have to run /usr/sbin/sensors-detect first in order to set 
things up, it will guide you through the probing of all the interfaces 
that sensors usually hang off.  If anything is found it then suggests 
the modules that should be loaded by the kernel and even changes all the 
files for you.

While /usr/sbin/sensors-detect looks horribly complex you can uasually 
accept all the defaults.

Support is very much based on the motherboard you are using, YMMV 
greatly between systems.

Remember to turn off LCAP if your using it while setting all this up, I 
don't know of this is in BX by default now but it;s certainly in some of 
the aftermarket security packages.
