heading to bed when I figured it out

that smp thingy as you called it

duh

You installed kernel-unsupported but you are running SMP kernel (that

You need to install kernel-smp-unsupported

yum install kernel-smp-unsupported
or
up2date kernel-smp-unsupported

to get lm_sensors for the kernel that you are running (the SMP thingy)
