Thanks for the pointer, I had the latest when I looked but I guess 04 came out since then. In fact, when I went to download it today, it had already jumped to 05. I spent *way* too much time updating the bios :(, it's an embedded box with no floppy (just an internal HD and a CF in a CF->IDE adapter). I lost count of the contortions of boot images and boot methods (USB cdrom, various CF images) I went through but finally managed to get the latest bios on, with no change in behavior <sigh>. > Nothing in the "ReadMe.txt" files indicates any ACPI related fixes.. but > A04 does seem to add some kind of support for a Winbond sensor. Looks like that Winbond part number is a flash chip. > You should probably try a -CURRENT snapshot, before reporting problems > you see in 4.6. After updating the bios I booted the latest 4.6-current kernel, which still had the problem, so I submitted a bug. Thanks much for the help... -- Paul B.
