Am trying to get temperature stats for a system. I've built a kernel with support for ACPI:
Code:
CONFIG_ACPI=y
CONFIG_ACPI_VIDEO=m
CONFIG_ACPI_FAN=m
CONFIG_ACPI_PROCESSOR=m
CONFIG_ACPI_THERMAL=m
CONFIG_ACPI_BLACKLIST_YEAR=0
CONFIG_ACPI_EC=y
CONFIG_ACPI_POWER=y
CONFIG_ACPI_SYSTEM=y

...and emerged sys-power/acpi. The contents of /proc/acpi contain the following:
Code:
/proc/acpi/:
total 0
-r--------  1 root root 0 Feb 15 09:08 dsdt
dr-xr-xr-x  2 root root 0 Feb 15 09:08 embedded_controller
-r--------  1 root root 0 Feb 15 09:08 event
-r--------  1 root root 0 Feb 15 09:08 fadt
dr-xr-xr-x  2 root root 0 Feb 15 09:08 fan
-r--r--r--  1 root root 0 Feb 15 09:08 info
dr-xr-xr-x  2 root root 0 Feb 15 09:08 power_resource
dr-xr-xr-x  3 root root 0 Feb 15 09:08 processor
dr-xr-xr-x  2 root root 0 Feb 15 09:08 thermal_zone

/proc/acpi/embedded_controller:
total 0

/proc/acpi/fan:
total 0

/proc/acpi/power_resource:
total 0

/proc/acpi/processor:
total 0
dr-xr-xr-x  2 root root 0 Feb 15 09:08 CPU0

/proc/acpi/processor/CPU0:
total 0
-r--r--r--  1 root root 0 Feb 15 09:08 info
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 0 Feb 15 09:08 limit
-r--r--r--  1 root root 0 Feb 15 09:08 power
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 0 Feb 15 09:08 throttling

/proc/acpi/thermal_zone:
total 0

I've also tried lm_sensors, having added I2C to the kernel and ISA, but only get information about installed memory when I run sensors. I'd like to get ACPI working on this machine...the BIOS shows me the temp so am I just missing something here??

Try to cat the files:
Code:
cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone

setting up I2C was a bit messy for me too.

did you read this already?
