I do work for IBM, but not for the PC company (division that makes the Thinkpad). This means that I could have as much trouble as you have and I can only promise to try. Anyway, I don't fully understand the problem. You can identify which machines have the problem chips, isn't that enough? Do you just want a complete list for posting? BTW. The message that I sent you was *not* from a thinkpad. It was from an IBM Intellistation M Pro. Matt Please respond to sensors at Stimpy.netroedge.com To: Matthew Laue/Lexington/IBM at IBMUS cc: sensors at Stimpy.netroedge.com Subject: Re: lm_sensors messages > As requested. Thanks. Looks like the DMI method is better than the ACPI one, at least in your case. I think I remember that another user once reported a similar case, but - shame on me - I can't remember which method was working for him. BTW, it looks like you are working at IBM. Maybe you could help us? We are trying to get some information about Thinkpads for months now. Some of them do contain special memory chips that lm_sensors can corrupt. This is the reason why we don't let Thinkpad users install lm_sensors on their machine. We'd like to enable the use of our product to those who have a non-faulty Thinkpad. Unfortunately, we never could obtain from IBM a list of which laptops are safe, and which are not. We already know how do identify the laptops, thank to that document: http://www.pc.ibm.com/qtechinfo/MIGR-45120.html But that's useless until we also know which laptops we can safely run lm_sensors on. For reference, the full story is available here: http://www2.lm-sensors.nu/~lm78/cvs/lm_sensors2/README.thinkpad Do you think you could provide some assistance?
