There's a 4.9.28 kernel in dom0 current-testing now, perhaps that might give you better hardware support? https://ftp.qubes-os.org/repo/yum/r3.2/current-testing/dom0/fc23/rpm/kernel-4.9.28-16.pvops.qubes.x86_64.rpm If you can give me the output of sensors-detect and lspci in dom0, I can double check to see if there are drivers for that hardware in the 4.9 tree and then see if they're enabled in the 4.9 kernel .config. The 4.9 kernel config when it comes to hardware support is mostly just a forward-ported 4.4 kernel config with a few additional tweaks for security (mainly taken from the Kernel Self Protection Project's recommended settings). https://kernsec.org/wiki/index.php/Kernel_Self_Protection_Project And I'd also be interested in general feedback for the 4.9 kernel; one of the changes I made was to remove the Intel ME driver from it. The latest machine I have access to is a Sandy Bridge machine, and while I have no issues, I am wondering if Haswell and newer is more tightly bound to the Intel ME to the point where those machines actually need the driver enabled to work correctly. I don't think that's the case, but a sanity check would be useful. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
