Hi, I'm sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you on this, I had another project which was requiring 150% of my time. Now that I actually get to sleep again, I have some time to go back to this and look at it some more. Output of ibm.pl: [root at tester lm_sensors-2.6.5]# ./ibm.pl RSD PTR found at 0xF7030. OEM string "IBM ". This is an IBM system. Attached is dmesg output. I did apply the dmidecode patch, here is the output of dmidecode: [root at tester lm_sensors-2.6.5]# ./prog/detect/dmidecode SMBIOS 2.31 present. DMI 2.31 present. 48 structures occupying 1636 bytes. DMI table at 0x0FF7C000. dmi: read: Success RSD PTR found at 0xF7030. Reserved check failed. OEM IBM PNP BIOS present. sensors-detect still presents the same output as before. I think that's everything. Please let me know how it goes.
