However, once I ran the sensors utility, the values would change to more normal readings of about ~52 C. I think what the sensors utility does is set the appropriate type of thermal sensor with the kernel. Since switching to 2.6 I have to do this manually (libsensors is not available yet for 2.6 I believe). The step to achieve this for the particular sensors that comes on the Tyan MPXboard, I simply do: echo 2 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/0-002d/sensor1 (and similar for sensor2 and sensor3). Of course this will be different for a different board and if you use the 2.4 kernel, sensors should do it for you.
