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).
Presumably your motherboard/BIOS doesn't export the temperature as an
ACPI thermal zone. This isn't required..
Likely your best bet is lm_sensors if your board has a sensor chip that
it supports..
