| 311570 | 2005-01-07 05:11:00 | Hey, When running a dmesg | more command from the console I get the following lines in the middle ACPI: Fan [FAN] (on) ACPI: Processor [CPU0] (supports C1) ACPI: Thermal Zone [THRM] (47 C) Can someone exlplain what the meaning of ACPI: Thermal Zone [THRM] (47 C) is? Does this have something to do with temperature sensing? Ash |

| 311572 | 2005-01-07 05:43:00 | what exactly is dmesg? It might be in the mobo manual whatever it is dmesg is a linux command listing the hardware on your system. For example dmesg | grep eth0 would list the details of your system, filtered so only the first network card is displayed |

| 311573 | 2005-01-07 06:09:00 | I don't have a laptop running Linux, so I can't compare dmesg outputs for ACPI, but I am guessing this is your current laptop temperature, and there must be a set point at which the system will up your cooling or shutdown if it goes over temperature. Someone with a lappy will probably be able to explain this better. :) |

| 311575 | 2005-01-07 06:44:00 | Run gkrellm2 and add the thermal zone part to it.. It basically gives you CPU temperature readings. Chill. |

If it is the CPU temp thats unusual as I posted recently as my Temperature was showing in the bios as 58 |

| 311577 | 2005-01-07 08:04:00 | Well, this isn't a laptop..... :badpc: Oh ... :rolleyes: :blush: Hmm ... well I still don't have any ACPI messages like that in my dmesg. Maybe it depends upon motherboard/BIOS support? You can have a read up more about ACPI and Linux here (http://acpi.sourceforge.net/). |

| 311578 | 2005-01-07 08:39:00 | just ran that on my xandros (debain based) laptop did not get any ACPI messages either I would tend to agree with jen Hmm ... well I still don't have any ACPI messages like that in my dmesg. Maybe it depends upon motherboard/BIOS support? |

| 311579 | 2005-01-08 00:23:00 | The fact that it shows a different temperature is to be expected . :D The software is different . The BIOS takes a "number" from the sensor, and does a calculation to come up with a temperature . It's not a scientific instrument . If it's within 10 degrees I would say it's doing pretty well . The Linux stuff sees the I2C interface and finds a sensor . It gets a number from it, but will be using a default "calibration" table to work out its "temperature" . It would be a fluke if it agreed with the BIOS . There is a HOWTO about this . . . I read it a while ago . It tells you how to make the temperatures "sensible" . |
