Well this message is displayed when an SCSI disk does not have a temperature sensors. Without the SATA passthru patch, it is not possible to determine if we are talking to a SCSI disk or a SATA disk, that's why it is not possible to change the message as you suggested. > BTW, for the record, /usr/share/doc/hddtemp/README talks about kernel > 2.6.11-rc5. I'm running kernel 2.6.12 and it still does not work "out > of the box". Do you know if kernel 2.6.13 will include this feature ? It has been merged in version 2.6.13-rc6-git11 so yes it will include this feature. This took long time because a X10 number has to be standardized for that. Bye, Aurelien -- .''`.
