I have googled for months... I still have no way of reading any sensors. I am running Slackware 12.2 running a 2.6.31.1 kernel-huge. the bios does not have a sensor page. Tried lm_sensors, it detects "SMSC LPC47M10x/112/13x Super IO Fan Sensors" with confidence 9 modprobe smsc47m1 smsc47m1: Found SMSC LPC47M10x/LPC47M112/LPC47M13x ACPI: Device needs an ACPI driver i have tried the kernel parameter acpi_enforce_resources=lax this removes the "cannot insert modules / device busy" error message and then dmesg gives: smsc47m1: Found SMSC LPC47M10x/LPC47M112/LPC47M13x ACPI: I/O resource smsc47m1 [0xc00-0xc7f] conflicts with ACPI region LEDX [0xc5d-0xc5e] ACPI: Device needs an ACPI driver smsc47m1 smsc47m1.3072: Device not configured, will not use I have never heard or have any idea of "LEDX", i've searched, and nothing comes up related to what im looking for. The thing that tells me there has to be something is, when I didn't properly have the heat sink seated correctly, I got thermal messages... Something along the lines of "thermal temperature/normal" and this would repeat: 2,000 times, 2,300 times (literally) and fill my "messages" log (300MB) worth of this stuff, ONLY when the CPU hits 100% say i was recompiling my kernel, it would just fill the log. even though it was saying "normal" which was false, it had to be getting the data from somewhere! all I'm after is CPU temp. the above tells me there has to be something telling it that there is an event or something happening. /proc/acpi $> ls . dsdt fadt power_resource thermal_zone .. embedded_controller fan processor video button event info sleep wakeup all the fan/thermal_zone/power_resource dirs, are empty processor/CPU0 have "info limit power throttling" but have nothing indicating any type of sensor. oh and running isadump shows no mercy of my pleas. isadump -k 0x55 0x2e 0x2f 0xa WARNING! Running this program can cause system crashes, data loss and worse! I will probe address register 0x2e and data register 0x2f. Probing bank 10 using bank register 0x07. Continue?
