| |
Hi Marcelo, hi all,
We have been having reports that recent changes in the ACPI subsystem of the Linux 2.4 kernel are breaking lm_sensors on a fairly large number of systems. In particular, 2.4.28 is affected. http://www2.lm-sensors.nu/~lm78/readticket.cgi?ticket=1761 http://www2.lm-sensors.nu/~lm78/readticket.cgi?ticket=1819 http://www2.lm-sensors.nu/~lm78/readticket.cgi?ticket=1820
I did not report earlier because I thought the problem would be fixed by the ACPI folks before 2.4.28 would be released. Unfortunately it wasn't.
The problem is already known, was reported for 2.6 kernels 4 months ago and fixed there by David Shaohua. See this kernel bug report for the detail of symptoms and the solution: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3049
Applying the proposed patch to a 2.4.28 kernel make lm_sensors work again on affected systems, while not causing trouble to unaffected ones as far as I can tell.
Len, David, any reason not to apply the same fix to the 2.4 tree?
Thanks,
