Never, as this isn't a bug per se. Your ACPI BIOS wants to control the I/O ports, the kernels wants them too, and that's about it. If your BIOS requests the I/O ports but doesn't use them, then it's a bug in your BIOS. Some vendors (Asus) request the I/O ports for a reason, and they implement a proprietary interface on top of the hardware monitoring chip. In this case it is possible to write an ACPI driver as a replacement for the native driver. Unfortunately, most other vendors which request the I/O ports don't implement anything like this. -- Jean Delvare _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
