X-BeenThere: freebsd-stable@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Production branch of FreeBSD source code List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sat, 02 Aug 2008 23:50:56 -0000 Hello, got this old machine, a SX270[1] that I thought I would put to use as my workstation (yes, my current workstation have lower specs than this machine). I have installed FreeBSD[2] 7.0-stable on it (i386). Normal[3] and verbose[4] dmesgs are available. Everything seems to work, but there is one thing tha doesn't: it doesn't report thermal parameters via acpi: root@kg-work2# sysctl hw.acpi.thermal sysctl: unknown oid 'hw.acpi.thermal' n fact the whole acpi section from sysctl seems a bit incomplete: root@kg-work2# sysctl hw.acpi hw.acpi.supported_sleep_state: S1 S3 S4 S5 hw.acpi.power_button_state: S5 hw.acpi.sleep_button_state: S1 hw.acpi.lid_switch_state: NONE hw.acpi.standby_state: S1 hw.acpi.suspend_state: S3 hw.acpi.sleep_delay: 1 hw.acpi.s4bios: 0 hw.acpi.verbose: 0 hw.acpi.disable_on_reboot: 0 hw.acpi.handle_reboot: 0 hw.acpi.reset_video: 0 hw.acpi.cpu.cx_lowest: C1 There is an acpidump[5] available too (from 'acpidump -dt'). The bios on this machine is from 2004, and that might be the cause. I couldn't find a newer bios than version A06, release date 09/29/2004. Does anybody know about a newer bios for thios machine anywhere? Or does anybody know how to fix the DSDT in the bios to enable thernal reporting? Or perhaps there is a way to read the temperature off the cpu, like the coretemp(4) driver? For those who wonders: yes, I have tried mbmon, lmmon from ports, but they didn't report anything useful as far as temperature goes. root@kg-work2# mbmon -d -A ioctl(smb0:open): No such file or directory SMBus[Intel8XX(ICH/ICH2/ICH3/ICH4/ICH5/ICH6)] found, but No HWM available on it!! Summary of Detection: * No monitors found. InitMBInfo: Bad file descriptor This program needs "setuid root"!! Output from 'lmmon -si': Motherboard Temp Voltages 255C / 491F / 528K Vcore1: +3.984V Vcore2: +3.984V Fan Speeds + 3.3V: +3.984V + 5.0V: +6.654V 1: 0 rpm +12.0V: +15.938V 2: 0 rpm -12.0V: -15.938V 3: 0 rpm - 5.0V: -6.654V I think 255 degrees Celsius is a bit unrealistic, the machine can't fry eggs yet. :-) Any good hints will be gratefully accepted.
