As Zhang Rui said, this cannot happen in reality. I'll stop talking to you. Kernel side, it's not your problem anyway, it's an ACPI Thermal Zone one. Guess I'll go ask the 2.6.26 release manager if he feels that breaking existing lm-sensors 2 userspace systems is acceptable. I myself obviously know how to fix things by now. Admittedly I need to find another hobby because the regularity with which people on this list piss me off is definitely disturbing. I also have this depressing notion that it might just be people pissing me off with frightening regularity period, but oh well. Gardening... maybe I'll do gardening now.
