Morten Hansen, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been
any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an
issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development
release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11-rc5

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  Winbond super I/0 chip W83627DHG and nForce2_smbus conflicts with ACPI

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  * What I expected
  To be able to use fancontrol to manage CPU fan speed

  * What actually happens
  ACPI and the module  for the W83627DHG (W83627ehf) conflicts. the moudle w83627ehf is therefore not loaded correctly and temperature and fan RPMs can therefore not be read.

  * How to recreate the problem
  Happens every time I turn on the computer

  I have tried booting with acpi_enforce_resources=lax, but that results
  in system freezes.

  Booting with acpi=off allows w83627ehf to be loaded, fancontrol to
  control the RPMs of the CPU fan, but also creates problems with sound
  playback in music and video files and low frame rates when playing
  videos (probably related to the sound issues)

  I've also tried booting with the options suggested here:
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingACPI. All options other than acpi=off
  and acpi=ht leads to either a non-responsive system during boot or a
  system that freezes. The freezes don't always start right after the
  system has booted. Sometimes it takes hours (maybe something to do
  with suspend?) but eventually the system will lock up

  In dmesg I have found the following conflicts between ACPI and the I/O
  chip

  [   10.856429] ACPI: resource nForce2_smbus [io  0x1c80-0x1cbf]
  conflicts with ACPI     region SM01 [io 0x1c80-0x1cbf]

  [   10.856431] ACPI: If an ACPI driver is available for this device,
  you should use it instead of the native driver

  [   10.946400] [Firmware Bug]: ACPI(IGPU) defines _DOD but not _DOS

  [   10.948958] ACPI: Video Device [IGPU] (multi-head: yes  rom: no
  post: no)

  [   10.972197] ACPI: resource w83627ehf [io  0x0295-0x0296] conflicts
  with ACPI region SEN1 [io 0x295-0x296]

  [   10.972200] ACPI: If an ACPI driver is available for this device,
  you should use it instead of the native driver

  I haven't been able to find ACPI drivers for either the nForce2_smbus
  or w83627ehf

  I am using kernel 3.2.0-23-generic
