You can never know to much. That's for sure.

That way I know it is there and what it is named. Make SURE to mount /boot before you copy that.

I THINK the module will be called ACPI_IBM. Someone correct me if I am wrong though. I think you take off the CONFIG_ part. It may also need to be lowercase. Keep in mind that case does matter in Linux. Let someone chime in on that one though. >>I guess I do still have my sensors as modules. Anyway, nvidia has to be >>a module.
