Well, if it is anything like SE750x boards, you need to first setup the entire BMC system using the Intel CD (that runs Windows :P) before it will do anything useful. After that is done, you *can* access the sensor data though IPMI, and even reconfigure the BMC from Linux. There is even an lm-sensors module for accessing IPMI sensor data. It is slow, but it works. Mostly :P I don't recall where I found the IPMI sensor module anymore, though. Maybe it is even packaged in sid/sarge nowadays. I think it was OpenIPMI or something like that. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them. One disk to bring them all and in the darkness grind them.
