Hi Jeff,

Well you had already tried exactly this version, hadn't you?
My testing steps:
(1) Completely remove the "i8k" module supplied by Fedora to a "safe"
location. It is not being used on my machine per "lsmod".
Did you try loading this original i8k driver? Did it work? What are the
contents of /proc/i8k then?
If the original works and mine fails, please send me the two .ko files
in private and I'll try to figure out how they differ. Even better if
you can get the exact kernel sources used by Fedora to build your
running kernel so that I can also compare the source code (the source
file is drivers/misc/i8k.c in the kernel tree.)
Note if you (Jeff) can give me the output of "uname -a" I can quite easily
get the matching kernel sources and send Jean the i8k.c from that exact
version (assuming you're not running some homebrewn kernel).
In case you're wondering how, what I would do is go to koji (the Fedora
buildsystem):
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/
Search for kernel, go to the kernel you're running, download an install
the src.rpm, and do a "rpmbuild -bp kernel.spec", which will extract the
sources, apply all patches and then exit (it will do the %prep fase of
the spec file). And then I've an exploded source tree, with the exact
sources used to build your kernel.
Regards,
Hans
