Well, good or bad depends on if you need a new doorstop or not,
because after taking lm_sensors for a spin, that's what your Thinkpad
will be. The lm_sensors package kills Thinkpads dead. For some reason
it messes up the eeproms, and when this is detected by the BIOS at
boot time, the resulting error message is as far as you'll get.

So in short: Stay away from lm_sensors.
