Hi all
What other good temp / motherboard / fan speed / HDD / etc monitor can I use on CentOS 5.1 (or even 5.2 - still need to upgrade)? I know lmsensors works ok'ish, but it doesn't pickup my Gigabyte motherboard properly.

I don't know if it's good or what you want, but I use gkrellm
$ rpm -qa|grep gkrel gkrellm-2.2.7-0.el5.rf.i386
It's in the rpmforge repo.
It's highly configurable. I have a "minimalist" configuration. I've attached a snapshot.

relies on lm_sensors according to the homepage. (and sys_fs, AFAIK lm_sensors picks up sys_fs if it's available.)
I'm having the same problems with lm_sensors with newer motherboards (ones from the last two years), some work, some don't. On some AMD motherboards it helps to "rmmod k8temp" to get a reading. On some it doesn't. I have one Intel board with I think Intel 5000X where lm_sensors also fails with a message like "no sys_fs" or so, I don't really remember. Do others know any tricks to get the data nevertheless? I think the kernel and lm_sensors on Centos 5 are simply too old for some chipsets. Also, there's sometimes a discrepancy between the support in the kernel and in lm_sensors.

It seems the current version of this software (http://www.nt.phys.kyushu-u.ac.jp/shimizu/download/download.html) is older than anything I get with CentOS.
I found an interesting thread here, but this would involve compiling a kernel module and installing a non-Centos lm_sensors. http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=14748
