My experience with my previous thinkpad is that the laptop runs cooler with a 2.4 kernel than 2.6. My iBook runs rather hot for a 1.2 GHz processor, 46-48C even when the system is practically idle. The hard-disk is particularly hot at ~50C. Hence I want to try the 2.4 kernel and see if it makes any difference to the heating problem. praveen
