I saw this message on my T42p after an FC3 upgrade, and when I ps aux I
did see an lm_sensors process.  So, I did a chkconfig --del lm_sensors
and it's all fine...
I was experiencing freezes so I disabled a lot of stuff (acpi, etc), but
as it turns out it was amule causing the freezes! Anyone else have this?
