Help with thermal

Help with thermal

[Jerry DeLisle]

I have acpid running.

/proc/acpi is:

[root@quantum acpi]# ls
ac_adapter  battery  embedded_controller  fan             processor
alarm       button   event                info            sleep
asus        dsdt     fadt                 power_resource  thermal_zone

The thermal_zone directory is empty.

How do I read temperatures?  I have been reading the howto's but I am
missing something here.  Thermal is compiled into kernel, not a module. 
Also I do not find acpi client.  The howto mentions the comamnd:

	acpi -v

Where do I find this?

Thanks ahead of time.

Jerry

it might be that your DSDT does not define a thermal_zone. you can send
it to the list if you like to, or better send a link to it. check
http://acpi.sf.net/dsdt/index.php to learn how to extract that table.
or your DSDT is faulty which should be shown in the output of "dmesg".
are there any AE_* messages or similar errors which point to ACPI?
or the ACPI implementation of Lіnux is at fault.
which machine are you running, btw?

that depends on your distribution. on Debian, just "apt-get install
acpi".

cheers,

I am running an Intel D865GLC motherboard.  Fedora Core 2 distribution. 
Kernel 2.6.8.1.  No errors indicating a DSDT problem in DMESG. I am
running this in SMP mode. I found this line in DMESG.

Intel machine check reporting enabled on CPU#1.
CPU1: Intel P4/Xeon Extended MCE MSRs (12) available
>>> CPU1: Thermal monitoring enabled
CPU1: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz stepping 09

The attached dsdt file was in /proc/acpi directory.
