ACPI and CPU temps on Tyan S2882.

[Brett Viren <bv@bnl.gov>]

Has anyone gotten ACPI working on a Tyan S2882 such that one can
read-out CPU temperatures?  If so, can you give me a quick HOWTO or
any pointers?

I'm currently running i386 sarge with stock Linux 2.6.7 built under
AMD64 biarch chroot with all ACPI options turned on in the kernel
config but "acpi -V" complains:

No support for device type: thermal

and /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/ is empty (as are many other directories
under /proc/acpi).  There are no apparent ACPI related errors during
bootup.  

I enter the BIOS setup and watch the CPU's temperatures fluctuate, but
it would be nice to both monitor and use the CPUs at the same time.

Thanks for any guidance,
-Brett.
