# urpmi lm_sensors # dmidecode and post the info from Handle 0x0000, Handle 0x0001, Handle 0x0002, along with the info of what or how it's broken, and what you need to use to get the system working... such as acpi=off, noapic, .... those provide all the info we use in dmi_scan.c to work around problems... -- Regards Thomas
