This is not a bug per se. Do you have any problem with this machine?

I've got the same problem. Using 2.6.28.x is reads like this: [ 19.966966] i801_smbus 0000:00:1f.3: PCI INT B -> Link[LNKB] -> GSI 5 (level, low) -> IRQ 5 [ 19.966974] ACPI: I/O resource 0000:00:1f.3 [0x1100-0x111f] conflicts with ACPI region SBUS [0x1100-0x110f] [ 19.966977] ACPI: Device needs an ACPI driver My sensors on Samsung P35 did work (lm90 hwmon). 2.6.31 read this: [ 17.405744] i801_smbus 0000:00:1f.3: PCI INT B -> Link[LNKB] -> GSI 5 (level, low) -> IRQ 5 [ 17.405751] ACPI: I/O resource 0000:00:1f.3 [0x1100-0x111f] conflicts with ACPI region SBUS [0x1100-0x110f] [ 17.405817] ACPI: If an ACPI driver is available for this device, you should use it instead of the native driver [ 17.405825] i801_smbus: probe of 0000:00:1f.3 failed with error -16 Now "sensors" does not return my lm90 detected ones like before - the failed -16 error is new too - so something is broken now.
I would also add that this is a regression, because it did work on 2.6.28.
Torsten, this is not a regression. This is a bug that has been fixed. You may not like the side effects of the fix, but we are not going to revert. If you want to put your machine at risk again, simply boot with acpi_enforce_resources=lax. But do not complain if your system is unstable or if your hardware dies from overheating. On laptops, it's much better to use ACPI for thermal management in general anyway. The lm90 driver won't give you much more than the standard ACPI thermal zone.
Patch was included in stable kernel 2.6.31.5: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.31.y.git;a=commit;h=91be0e881d6abf1da9903c831d20954f2325ce3e So this bug is fixed and can be closed.

Hm before i've got lm90 and the normal thermal zone, why its not possible now to get both anymore? Its right that i don't see "more" - except the low and high stuff and m/b temp, but i wonder why its not possible to have both, like before - got thermal zone and smbus sensors? lm90-i2c-0-4c Adapter: SMBus I801 adapter at 1100 M/B Temp: +42 C (low = -65 C, high = +127 C) CPU Temp: +42.9 C (low = +37.1 C, high = +67.2 C) M/B Crit: +112 C (hyst = +102 C) CPU Crit: +112 C (hyst = +102 C)
Because accessing the same I/O ports from ACPI and native drivers at the same time is not safe.
