I want to monitor the temperature of my CPU etc through linux however I keep getting a load of error messages in dmesg output saying: ACPI: Unable to turn cooling device [f70180a8] 'on'.
The only way I can stop this is to blacklist the thermal and fan modules but this obviously don't help me to monitor anything!
I am using slackware 13 current.
Output of lsmod
