I guess I don't have ipmi hardware installed:

modprobe ipmi_si
FATAL: Error inserting ipmi_si (/lib/modules/2.6.24-21-generic/kernel/ drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si.ko): No such device

Try this first:

modprobe ipmi_msghandler
modprobe ipmi_si
modprobe ipmi_devintf

If you have IPMI hardware, those should succeed. The udev rules should produce /dev/ipmi/0 when those modules are loaded, but if they don't, you can create the device file like so:

mknod /dev/ipmi0 c 254 0

Unfortunately, lm_sensors is doing about as well for me as it is for Kimball:
# sensors
k8temp-pci-00c3
Adapter: PCI adapter
Core0 Temp:
           -49°C
Core1 Temp:
            +1°C
As awesome as it would be for my processor to be running that cool (or
even be a dual-core, which that particular one isn't), I don't think
it's right.

Oh come on, computers never lie, so admit it: you're using liquid nitrogen to cool it. Can I have some?
