Hi Jim, It is my own Kernel in the sense that with Gentoo the install process I need to pick the features that match my system. The SMP stuff and drive controllers, network, the basics. I do not add any odd patches to my kernel. And yep, I bought two systems at the same time so that they would be identical so I could try software on one and work out the kinks before messing with my E-mail/DNS box. What I have learned is that the E7525 chipset is known to not report any sensors. While I would love that not to be true, I have found no evidence that they can be read by lm-sensors. Intel's sensor observation drivers are for RedHat only as far as Linux goes, so I am not sure if they will work under Gentoo. I am now looking at alternative solutions. I seem to have this kind of luck with systems, always picking one that Linux is shut out from the nice features on the hardware. :\ Nick -- Nick Ellson CCDA, CCNP, CCSP, CCAI, MCSE 2000, Security+, Network+ Network Hobbyist, VFR Private Pilot.
