Hi,
my machine is HP's XW6200 desktop, running LFS with a 2.6.15 kernel.
When loading acpi's 'fan' and 'thermal' modules, the dircetories
'/proc/acpi/{fan,thermal_zone}' appear, but contain nothing. No
complaints appear on 'dmesg', and other modules ('button' and
'processor') seem to behave well.
I wish to find out whether the problem is due to hardware limitations,
software limitations, or perhaps software configuration, and I'm not
sure how to go about it. I write here as I failed to come up with much
elsewhere online.
Some further information that could be helpful:
zgrep -i acpi /proc/config.gz
