That is under active development, so I'd doubt that situation would
last very long. As for sensors_detect, make sure you have the latest
version of lm_sensors. Errors that are usually harmless are endemic
to its search as it checks for all known sensors types.
Likewise I would search out the newest version of gkrellm, for the
same reasons.
The sensors have been a built into the kernel thing now for quite a
while, but that means a new motherboard may require the latest
2.6.12-rc2 (a good kernel IMO) in order for the hardware to be
properly found.
Waiting for the rpm's is not, IMO a very productive use of your time.
Grab the lastest tarballs and make your own. You will probably have
a working sensors system, with gkrellm showing you everything, 6
months to a year faster.
