Well, either I don't have a server-class motherboard in this box, or
it's not configured correctly.

# ipmitool sensor list
Could not open device at /dev/ipmi0 or /dev/ipmi/0 or /dev/ipmidev/0:
No such file or directory
Get Device ID command failed
Unable to open SDR for reading

Unfortunately, lm_sensors is doing about as well for me as it is for Kimball:

# sensors
k8temp-pci-00c3
Adapter: PCI adapter
Core0 Temp:
            -49°C
Core1 Temp:
             +1°C

As awesome as it would be for my processor to be running that cool (or
even be a dual-core, which that particular one isn't), I don't think
it's right.
