Please go here http://bugzilla.kernel.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=ACPI and submit a new sighting vs. Power-Thermal and attach the output from acpidump, cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/* and assign it to len.brown@xxxxxxxxx thanks, -Len - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
