Yes. And for the archives, I thought that weird "dev.acpi_sysresource.*" was pointing out that some features of the BIOS were not correctly recognized by freebsd's acpi subsystem. Actually, there is a more solid way to determine this. By digging into intel's acpi programmer reference http://www.intel.com/technology/iapc/acpi/downloads/ACPICA-ProgRef.pdf I found that a "_TZ_" scope must be provided by the bios DSDT, that is, a "Scope (\_TZ_)" be defined in the asl. Besides the load of errors from iasl on the decompiled dsdt, that zone is missing in the ASL. Whenever the feature/scope/method is implemented, but buggy, I found this collection of common acpi topics useful for simple fixes: http://www.cpqlinux.com/acpi-howto.html#fix_broken_dsdt bye --- John Baldwin <jhb@freebsd.org> ha scritto: > On Saturday 08 July 2006 06:43, uwe farinol wrote: > > hi > > > > I run freebsd SMP on the mobo in subject, with a > > Pentium D 805 CPU. > > Everything is fine, but I get very few MIBs for > acpi. > > Notably, I don't get support for the thermal > sensor. > > This is a limitation of your BIOS and there's not > much FreeBSD > can do about it. > > -- > John Baldwin > Chiacchiera con i tuoi amici in tempo reale! http://it.yahoo.com/mail_it/foot/*http://it.messenger.yahoo.com
