Oh right, I forgot about that. Brilliant hardware/firmware engineers... Well that does not prevent us from using CONFIG_NR_CPUS, "just" the code would need to be modified to remove the assumption that the array index matches the logical CPU ID. BTW I wonder how the rest of the kernel handles the situation. CONFIG_NR_CPUS is used where relevant so there certainly _is_ a linear numbering which is independent from the CPU ID. -- Jean Delvare SUSE L3 Support _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
