No, still causes a crash:
Do you want to scan for Super I/O sensors? (YES/no):

Some systems (mainly servers) implement IPMI, a set of common interfaces
through which system health data may be retrieved, amongst other things.
We first try to get the information from SMBIOS. If we don't find it
there, we have to read from arbitrary I/O ports to probe for such
interfaces. This is normally safe. Do you want to scan for IPMI
interfaces? (YES/no):
# DMI data unavailable, please consider installing dmidecode 2.7

So it seems the sensors aren't there, and proving the various I/O ranges 
causes a crash.

Still it would be nice to get "ipmitool sensor" working locally.
# ipmitool sensor

Is there a driver that I missed?
