 Ohoh... It's a little bit embarassing... I was completely sure, that Linux
 found thermal sensors via acpi...
 
 Somehow neither SUSE Linux 8.1 (2003) nor KNOPPIX 3.7 (2004-12) seems to find a
 thermal_zone (I looked in dmesg and /proc/acpi).
 
 FreeBSD R6.1 with verbose kernel messages (boot -v) does not say a word about
 thermal, too.
 
 I think, my BIOS/ACPI is just too old for thermal_zone and
 auto-power-on-timer... :-)
 
 Sorry for the trouble... We can close that PR now with my consent.
 
 Tubby-Bye-Bye :-)
