omreport 4.5.0-335 : no temperature or fans probes on DELL PE1800

[Harald_Jensas at Dell.com]

IPMI drivers should not be loaded if running OMSA 4.5, it is good to check if you have them loaded. In that case, unload the IPMI drivers and try remove and add OMSA Kernel modules again. The OMSA drivers will conflict the IPMI driver.

What do you mean by this:

Is this an intermittent problem? Will it work again if you reboot?
