I"m having trouble with the thermal zone drivers in the 20040715 2.6.8.1 ACPI driverset on my Sager NP3760 laptop, which has an Intel 855PM chipset. The thermal zone drivers are unable to lcate any thermalzones, and subsequently I can"t monitor the CPU termperature. The CPU itself is an Intel Pentium M Dothan, 1.5GHz. dmesg and cpuinfo outputs appear below.
Does anyone know where I can learn about the current state of support for the 855PM chipset?

Using vanilla kernels 2.6.7, 2.6.8 and 2.6.8.1, thermal zone and CPU temperature reporting works on my custom built Astone Z7 (rebranded Asus M6N) which has an Intel Pentium M Dothan 735 (1.7Ghz) and the 855PM chipset.
Perhaps you have DSDT problems? Have you read
http://acpi.sourceforge.net/dsdt/index.php ?
Thanks for the link - unfortunately, Sager is not listed in the manufacturer's table. Who builds the NP3760 laptops anyway? And where would I find that information out?
