Change in kernel policy regarding resource conflicts The default setting for the acpi_enforce_resources parameter in the new Linux kernel version has changed to be "strict" by default. This can lead some legacy sensor drivers to be denied access the sensors hardware. This can be workarounded by setting this parameter to "lax", e.g. by appending "acpi_enforce_resources=lax" to the kernel boot line. ---------%<--------------------- Hrm; I'm no native english speaker nor kernel specialist; I hope my text helps.
