What might be wrong or what can I do next? What did sensors-detect say? Also, did you look at 'lspci -n' (and maybe 'lspci -v') to make sure that 0x25a4 is really the ID you have. It's also possible you'll need this... http://www2.lm-sensors.nu/~lm78/cvs/browse.cgi/lm_sensors2/prog/hotplug/README.p4b Regards, -- Mark M. Hoffman mhoffman at lightlink.com
