All machines affected post 4.5. I had a similar problem with Dell boxes when I went from ipmitool v1.8.8 to v1.8.9 - see the thread starting at: <http://www.mail-archive.com/ipmitool-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg00468.html> It looks like the patch for ipmitool in the CentOS 4.5 OpenIPMI SRPM i.e. ipmitool-1.8.8-disabled-sensor.patch is the cause of this issue ... the comment is the change log is: - Added patch to fix sensors problems on Woodcrest (#228679) I guess you could rebuild the OpenIPMI without that patch James Pearson
