    From Madhu@21:1/5 to All on Fri Jun 20 11:45:51 2025
    xosview2 started showing a constant value for TZ6 on an intel lenovo
    laptop. It turns out to be from

    $ cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone6/temp
    20000

    $ cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone6/type
    INT3400 Thermal

    Is this because some cooling component has failed in the mobo?

    $ cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone6/type
    user_space step_wise bang_bang fair_share

    lsmod indicates the acpi driver is being used

    $ lsmod|grep thermal
    int3400_thermal 20480 0
    x86_pkg_temp_thermal 20480 0
    processor_thermal_device 24576 0
    acpi_thermal_rel 16384 1 int3400_thermal
    intel_soc_dts_iosf 20480 1 processor_thermal_device
    intel_rapl_common 24576 2 intel_rapl_msr,processor_thermal_device intel_pch_thermal 16384 0
    int3403_thermal 20480 0
    int340x_thermal_zone 16384 2 int3403_thermal,processor_thermal_device

    however again the the values seem busted

    $ cat /sys/devices/platform/INT3400:00/uuids/available_uuids
    UNKNOWN

    $cat /sys/devices/platform/INT3400:00/uuids/current_uuid
    INVALID

    Any ideas on how to interpret this data and deduce what is going on?
    google seems to be utterly useless for this purpose. I've not been able
    to find what INT3400 Thermal on google and the linux/src/Documentation.
    But one bugzilla.kernel.org report suggests it is bogus (show_bug.cgi?id=205365)
