No, the kernel version is 2.4.18. The machine I installed lm_sensors on is unavailable atm, so I can't check whether or not acpi is being used. However, a similar machine's dmesg reveals : Linux version 2.4.18 (root at bob.bob.co.za) (gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-85)) #4 SMP Thu May 16 00:39:32 SAST 2002 BIOS-provided physical RAM map: BIOS-e820: 0000000000000000 - 000000000009fc00 (usable) BIOS-e820: 000000000009fc00 - 00000000000a0000(reserved) BIOS-e820: 00000000000f0000 - 0000000000100000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 0000000000100000 - 000000000f7fc000 (usable) BIOS-e820: 000000000f7fc000 - 000000000f7ff000 (ACPI data) BIOS-e820: 000000000f7ff000 - 000000000f800000 (ACPI NVS) BIOS-e820: 00000000ffff0000 - 0000000100000000 (reserved) Dunno if this means acpi is being used or not, as there are no other entries in dmesg containing this string. Bear in mind though that even without devfs creating any new devices, sensors had enough to work from to give me the info I needed / expected to get ie CPU temp, fan RPMs etc. - -- Stuart Logie Programmer UNIVERSAL COMPUTER SERVICES (PTY) LTD Powered by Debian GNU/Linux -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iQCVAwUBQPZq8uuEbVzzghHCAQIDJgP/Uf8klbFAD8bmuSndDeii2Bgb2u/SLJgO R7URurwGvwRHCTrJGFa3qWmeq/JX6B9MvxdV+fXrLT3hiT6bT8xXzrSL+ZlQMrgq 5bFJBC+X67Ilahzi1Tj1T6bFqfXJeAgANo8mCyiLPoP/A7h6nYa4NhQPRPyHQH2u nPh6s+E+rW8= =W8e3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
