If you dunno, you probably went with your distro installer's defaults and will need to tell your helper that, so they can help you figure out what you're running and what you should run and how to set that up. > and I even > don't know if it is even possible that everything else works and just > fan control is gone after a motherboard change or if I am just being > paranoid. > > So if anyone could spare the time to contact me off-list with some > suggestions for diagnostics for a slightly antique FC9 system and ..duh! Ok, the above remains useful for all distros. You Thorsten and other Fedora users wanna chk: http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-help http://fedoraproject.org/ http://fedoraproject.org/en/join-fedora > possibly some additional help and pointers, I would really appreciate > it.

My _guess_ is some new fan control chip needs a newer or different kernel module loaded, and you should be able to set up that easily re-running the setup program. > Thanks in advance, > > * Thorsten -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt Karlsen ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry...
