| 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).

You can also manually specify a different path both home and tmp are
not desirable. See this option --sdr-cache-directory=DIRECTORY.
