I am running an older Compaq Presario 2600cl with Fedora 9
I am getting these messages.
I update BIOS to most recent ( Nov, 2004 )
I have googled and worked this problem for several hours,
but I am still not able to stop the messages every 2-4 seconds:
Jul 31 17:13:37 sissy kernel: ACPI: Unable to turn cooling device
[f7811f18] 'on'
Jul 31 17:13:39 sissy kernel: w83627hf: Found W83697HF chip at 0x290
#This is where I restarted lm_sensors
Jul 31 17:13:43 sissy kernel: ACPI: Unable to turn cooling device
[f7811f18] 'on'
Jul 31 17:13:49 sissy kernel: ACPI: Unable to turn cooling device
[f7811f18] 'on':
I modified the sensors3.conf as noted below; restarted lm_sensors
chip "w83697hf-*"
ignore temp1
ignore temp2
ignore fan1
label temp3 "CPU Temp"
set temp1_type 1 # ?
set temp2_type 1 # ?
set temp1_max 51
set fan1_min 0
sensors cmd no longer shows values for temp1, temp2, fan1. OK
but messages continue every 2 - 4 seconds.
I am including an excerpt from lshw
