I've not seen such failures.

No, there should be no need in any manual setup. Upon startup
ipmi-sensors should create ~/.freeipmi/sdr-cache directory (or
/tmp/freeipmi-<username>/sdr-cache if user's home directory doesn't
exist) and put sdr-cache-`hostname -s`.127.0.0.1 file in it.

Can You please verify that root home directory exists? If so, try
to remove ~root/.freeipmi and rerun ipmi-sensors.

If nothing helps, can You please run `ktrace ipmi-sensors' and
send me the output of `kdump' in the same directory (preferably directly,
since it may contain private info and the output may be huge).
