No, it simply means that you have it built into your kernel. If not, you wouldn't have a /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THM0 directory. > 49 torus:~> sudo i2cdump 0 0x6a > (...) > 50 torus:~> sudo i2cdump 0 0x10 No chances these were hardware monitoring chips with such addresses. > In reviewing the previous 'sensors-detect' output I noticed that it found > a "sensor" but that it is flagged 'no hardware monitoring capabilites': It found a Super-I/O chip rather than a sensor. We have sensors-detect list these even when they do not include sensors so that we don't have to continuously check whether unrecognized Super-I/O chips fall into that category when people report about them. > There is no 'Hardware Monitor' section in the BIOS. This is well in line with the lack of lm_sensors-supported chip. I don't think there is anything more to be tried on this system, ACPI seems to be your only monitoring information source. It's not as powerful as what lm_sensors usually offers, but still better than nothing at all. -- Jean Delvare
