Description of problem: lm_sensors site CVS now lists an lm85 driver. This chip appears to be key to reading sensors on most Intel server motherboards. It would be REALLY useful if this were merged in to a maintenance release sometime soon.
As soon as the stable release contains the driver as well it will get included in our lm_sensors package, too. Our general rule is usually not to use any CVS snapshots (only in very rare cases where stable releases haven't been done for a long time and the CVS version is know to be a lot better than the stable on).

Agree, it's waiting for lm_sensors 2.80. When that version is released, I will be happy to provide beta test for RPMs you generate.
OK, thanks! I'll update this bug as soon as a lm_sensors-2.8.0 package gets available via rawhide. Read ya, Phil
lm_sensors 2.80 was just released. I have tested it via tarball on an RH9 system with Intel motherboard, and am actually able to read fan speeds, voltages and temperatures! Support for the LM85 seems to work. Note that a newer i2c version 2.80 is required in concert with the lm_sensors 2.80. If/when you have appropriate RPMs, my offer to test stands. It'd be REALLY helpful if those RPMs were loadable on RH9 systems, as that's what I have for testing at present.
OK, has been updated, at least in userland. Hopefully the kernel drivers will make it into the kernel real soon now, too, kernel maintainer has been notified. Read ya, Phil
