However, he already knows that the system is running hot. I think the solution he is looking for is how to make the power management play nice with his shiny new F-15 OS. I suspect it is not cycling the cooling fan(s) since the system overheats to the point of hardware failure. But I haven't a clue as to how to tell F-15 to turn it/them on when needed.<div>

</div></div>lm_sensors? i believe that is what it is in an rpm system (debian it is<br>
lm-sensors if memory serves)<br>
<br>
possibly "yum install lm_sensors" followed by running "sensors-detect"<br>
as root.<br>
<br>
to have sensors read in Fahrenheit would be "sensors -f"<br>
<br>
now i have to go wash my hands... ugh, red hat commands...<br>
