All I can see under Super IO Configuration ( inside the BIOS ) is Serial Port configuration along with a Parallel Port configuration. Would this have anything to do with ACPI? I do see something ISA related when invoking lspci if that makes any difference? I have seen this on some Supermicro server boards, where > hardware monitoring is handled by an IPMI chip. I have an American Megatrends BIOS for an i7 processor on an embedded board. I do not believe it has an IPMI chip. > Enabling the chip manually from user space is technically possible, but I would not recommend it How would I go about doing this? I ran superiotool and got the following in return: superiotool r6637 Found Winbond W83627HF/F/HG/G (id=0x52, rev=0x41) at 0x2e On Thu, Mar 5, 2015 at 12:15 PM, Guenter Roeck <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Thu, Mar 05, 2015 at 11:48:48AM -0500, Jon Torrey wrote: > > Hi everyone, > > > ... > > > modprobe w83627hf returns an error with the following on dmesg | tail - > > > > *[ 1056.137920] w83627hf: Base address not set, skipping* > > The hardware monitoring function in the chip was not activated > by the BIOS.
