ACPI won't load for me. Does the stock kernel include support for it? I
see a bunch of acpi options turned on in the kernel config, but I'm not
sure how to use them.
I have a Sony VAIO, PCG-SR33.

You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg

It runs very hot. I'd love to do something about it.

i have very little experience with this, but i passed "acpi=on" to the
kernel.
i edited /boot/grub/grub.conf. you can see the simple change i made
below...
title Fedora Core (2.4.22-1.2115.nptl)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi
rhgb acpi=on
# kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl ro root=LABEL=/
hdc=ide-scsi rhgb
initrd /initrd-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl.img
and this allowed the battery monitor to work, but i haven't tried
monitoring the temperature yet.
i would like to and if this works for you i'd appreciate hearing how
you do monitor your temperature.
by the way, i have a fujitsu N3010.
hope this helps,
al.
I check out my temperature with the below command. My laptop runs at
around 44 degrees C. The fan comes on whenever it gets in the
cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/*
gives the below output for my machine.
cooling mode: active
<polling disabled>
state: ok
temperature: 44 C
critical (S5): 100 C
passive: 97 C: tc1=4 tc2=3 tsp=40 devices=0xcf6b6d80
