Hi. I apologize for what is surely a stupid question: I understand
that ACPI should be able to tell me what my CPU's temperature is (I
have a sever overheating problem and I am trying to solve it by
underclocking somewhat, but I need to be able to read the temperature
to do anything worth while), but no matter what ACPI modules I load, I
can't find any hint of a CPU temperature reading anywhere below
/proc/acpi (the /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/ directory, for example,
remains empty).
That's with the "thermal", "processor" and "fan" modules loaded (and a
few others; full listing follows signature). I tried to load the
asus_acpi module also, since I have an ASUS motherboard (a P5WD2
Premium - precise details are given below signature), but I got a "No
such device" error. Does that mean my motherboard is unsupported and
I cannot read my CPU temperature at all? (But I thought the whole
_point_ of ACPI was that it was an abstraction away from the hardware:
so why is there such a thing as "Asus" ACPI?) Or else, what am I
doing wrong?
