In the meantime, one thing we can add to sensors-detect is a white list. When someone reports that a given IBM model is surviving sensors-detect and that sensors can actually be used on it with some benefit, we add the model to the white list and don't complain about IBM systems that are present in this white list. That's of course the wrong way to do it, since it'll require to be maintained continuously. That's the best we can do for now anyway. Would you accept to do some tests on your Netvista? If I can know the BIOS data in details, I could setup a more accurate identification method. What I would actually need is the output file of the following command (as root): dd if=/dev/mem of=/tmp/mem-netvista bs=64k skip=13 count=3 It makes an "image" of your BIOS and I can then test various identification methods on it.
