If you are using RedHat 7.2, and the stock RedHat kernel, all you need
to do is: 

/usr/sbin/sensors-detect

and go through and answer the questions (you can just hit returns if
you like and select the default answer for each question). 

After it's done it will tell you to add some lines to
/etc/modules.conf. 

Then you can run 'sensors' and it should give you the output of all
the sensors it found. 

You will need the lm_sensors-2.5.5-6 pakage.
