1.111.1. RHBA-2010:0186: bug fix and enhancement update
Updated lm_sensors packages that fix a bug and add various enhancements are now available.
The lm_sensors package includes a collection of modules for general SMBus access and hardware monitoring.
These updated lm_sensors packages fix the following bug:
* running the "sensors-detect" utility while redirecting input from /dev/null resulted in the following error message: "Use of uninitialized value in pattern match.../usr/sbin/sensors-detect". This spurious error message was caused by the referencing of an uninitialized variable, and has been fixed in this update. (BZ#474383)
In addition, these updated packages provide the following enhancements:
Important: the kernel update for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.5 includes updated hwmon kernel drivers that are necessary to enable newly-enabled sensor types. The Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.5 kernel should therefore be installed along with this update.
* lm_sensors now contains support for the fschmd driver, which means that the FSC Syleus chip is now supported. (BZ#513099)

Users of lm_sensors are advised to upgrade to these updated packages along with the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.5 kernel update. Doing so resolves this issue and add these enhancements.
