So to elaborate more in this:
I think I have identified some of the sensors:

dancasmo@BlackBeauty:~$ cat /proc/acpi/ibm/thermal
temperatures:    59 50 42 -128 50 -128 25 -128 49 54 50 -128 -128 -128 
-128 -128

Index in "thermal"
	Location (estimated)
1
	CPU
2
	MiniPCI
3
	HDD
4
	n/a (-128)
5
	Battery 1
6
	n/a (-128)
7
	Battery 2
8
	n/a (-128)
9
	?????
10
	?????
11
	?????
12
	n/a (-128)
13
	n/a (-128)
14
	n/a (-128)
15
	n/a (-128)
16
	n/a (-128)

I still don't know what indexes 9, 10 and 11 are. Anyone knows? Or any 
ideas how I can figure this out?
Also, those temperatures are with the fan off, I have it configured to 
be off when CPU temp is below 70C and 60C for the rest. Is that safe?

Thanks!
