That seems to be the message that is reported when these drivers are loaded. > I don't know if this is right. Probably ok. On some systems the tzmon kernel driver is used to monitor system cpu temperature, and tzmon enables or disables cooling devices (fans) when certain temperature thresholds are reached. I've no idea if the Dell Insprion 6000 needs the acpi tzmon driver or not... > Anyway, there are no direct error messages. When this system is idle, does top (or prstat) show that the system is almost 100% in idle state? The Dell Inspiron 6000 seems to use a Pentium M cpu. On these old cpus, Solaris does not support cpu power management (intel speedstep), so the cpu should always run at full speed. Maybe the trick is to install Casper's frkit. IIRC, it includes an unsupported intel speedstep driver for older cpus. When the system is idle and cpu frequency is lowered the system should produce less heat... http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Community+Group+laptop/frkit -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-help mailing list [email protected]
