Hi,

I have a (brand new, yay!) box with a Gigabyte K8VNXP
motherboard (VIA K8T800 chipset) running an AMD 64 Athlon
3400+.  The BIOS (Award BIOS) is able to tell me the processor
temperature and CPU fan speed etc. and I was just wondering if I
could read this info from within NetBSD.

I'm not able to dechipher what hardware monitor the motherbord
uses, and adding the kernel configuration for lm0 directly from
lm(4) to GENERIC.local won't make the kernel detect lm0 on boot.

Before I start fiddling around with device port numbers, has
anyone done this before?

Another thing:  If I mount my drives with softdep, the system
sometimes "freezes" for short periods of time (about 3-5
seconds or so).  This seems to occur under heavy disk activity
(rebuilding userland) when the pagedeamon process which will
use a lot of CPU periodically.  Is this a known issue, or a
non-issue?  I thought it was annoying enough to make me disable
softdep.

Here's my dmesg:
