Are the kernels at http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/stable/standard/ suitable for use in Leap 15.4?
Background: It seems that ASUS removed all WMI support from its motherboards with the X570/B550/TRX40 chipset (apparently as a result of AMD doing so so for the X670/B650 chips (?) ), and that broke temperature/fan speed monitoring on those boards. The lack of WMI support means the NCT6775 module is loaded on these systems, but previously, that driver attempted to read/write directly to the ACPI table, which according to this discussion: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=204807# (see especially comment 37) is rather bad thing to allow. The patch to NCT6775 was only accepted into the kernel beginning with ver 6.1.2, and has not yet been backported to the 5.14 kernel. Therefore, to regain temp/fan speed monitoring, I need to install that kernel or later (ver 6.1.7 was just released on download.o.o today).
Can you open a bugreport at bugzilla.opensuse.org often they can backport hardware enablement changes for SUSE / openSUSE kernels even if they aren't backported to a mainline kernel. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
