How does one disable this acpitz-virtual-0 method? sensors is reporting it, but I don't see that sensors configured it. /etc/modules only has: fuse lp it87 k8temp None of which seem related to acpitz-virtual-0 > > > k8temp-pci-00c3 > > Adapter: PCI adapter > > Core0 Temp: +10.0 ?C > > Core0 Temp: +0.0 ?C > > Core1 Temp: -4.0 ?C > > Core1 Temp: +1.0 ?C > > Please see: > http://www.lm-sensors.org/ticket/2278 > Executive summary: K8 rev.

That would be pretty close to pointless, at least from what I've seen so far of ECS "support". > But I suspect this is a hardware problem > and not much can be done at the software level.
