This means that the BIOS is claiming the hwmon chip for itself;
starting from 2.6.31 Linux started enforcing this claim, see

Asus exposes the hardware monitoring data trough an ACPI interface. If
you send me a copy of /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/DSDT I'll see if
there's something usable.

Hi Luca,

I tried cat /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/DSDT & got a lot of characters all
over the page, nothing really readable.... ls -l gives
ls -l /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/DSDT
-r--------. 1 root root 0 Jul 5 22:42 /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/DSDT

Here's the last page of the file:


[..snip..]


Is there some other way I ought to have looked at the file???

Thanks for your help!!!

Dave


DSDT is "binary" so "cat" will not work. When I need a copy of DSDT I do the following:

cp /proc/acpi/dsdt /home/jeff

The "ls -al /home/jeff" shows me a file called DSDT in that directory.

Then I can attach that DSDT file to an email or whatever....
