Hi Al, Thank for the answer, the workaround you suggested actually worked on all the DELL machines (PE 2950, PE 1950, R510, R410) that had the N/A sensors reading problem. As you said, they were just labeled as disable, but they actually weren't.

If you use this workaround, "-W ignorescanningdisabled", it should work around. Short description of the workaround, the Dell motherboards say that a sensor is disabled, but in reality it isn't. Other possibilities may be that sensors need to be bridged (--bridge-sensors) or shared sensor outputs need to be enabled (--shared-sensors). I'm unsure why ipmi-sensors -v would work. Would you mind showing examples of the differences.
