I had hoped this might work for my i2500, but the i8k module won't install. insmod gives the oh-so-helpful "No such device" error. Any idea _what_ device? Perhaps /proc/i8k. Any ideas how I could work around this? I'm suspecting it won't help much anyway, since i8kutils seems to require /proc/apm too, and any attempt to do anything with apm on the 2500 segfaults. One of these days I'm going to have to learn how to debug these things.... derek
