[ltp] Measuring temperature

[Dmitriy Morozov]

Hello, everybody.

Is there a way to measure CPU temperature without ACPI? 

I'm trying to track down a problem (the computer occasionally freezes 
- the occurrences seem to be completely random, so now I'm thinking 
that maybe overheating has something to do with it). With ACPI it 
tells me the temperature just fine, but I cannot use Suspend-to-RAM 
properly (network and sound die shortly after resume), which makes 
the system a bit useless to me. So I'm looking for a way to measure 
CPU temperature without having ACPI support (with APM). As far as I 
could tell lm_sensors won't compile on a thinkpad, so the question is 
what else can I do? Or should I try to force lm_sensors to work? Is 
it safe to do on T41?

Any ideas and advice are appreciated.

Best,
Dmitriy
