Hi,
Ethan, at http://bugs.gentoo.org/142635 reports that the thermal zone
always reads 40C. Is this something that should be filed at the kernel
bugzilla for further investigation, or can we simply blame a
buggy/unfixable BIOS? I understand that i2c/hwmon is the more common way
of measuring temperatures.
Probably this isn't specific to a gentoo build and would happen just
the same with a kernel.org build. So if it is a bug, it is probably an upstream bug.
Agreed - I was asking whether you regard this as a real upstream bug, or
a broken ACPI implementation not worth fixing.
It would be good to verify that ACPI events in general
are working on the box -- eg. the power button etc -- as a failure
there would also be more interesting than unchanging temperature.
The power button does generate events, so it's not completely broken.
I guess this can just be passed off as a small BIOS bug? If you'd like
us to open a bug for it anyway, just say.
Thanks!
Daniel
