Others have had the problem (forum).
The problem seems to be that the Gkrellm2 sensor display needs to be reactivated ( R-click top edge, config, built-in, sensors) after each boot of a different kernel, but continues ok if the same kernel is booted. This is with Lm_sensors, which I have emerged & configured: I haven't tried what happens if I unmerge it again, but my suspicion is that it makes no difference using kernel Sysfs instead. In any case, 'sensors' (Lm command) shows the correct figures from CLI, which shows the problem is Gkrellm2, not the kernel itself. 2 oddities I've noticed going over to Udev along with changing kernels: (1) Udev make the floppy device root-only by default, so you have to add 'purslow' (whoever) to the 'floppy' group; (2) 2.6.12 + Udev defines a smaller set of devices than 2.6.9 + Udev , even tho' I've suppressed the cacheing which Gentoo adds (the extras are ptya0-zf ttya0-zf : perhaps due to kernel config ? ). -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban & Community Studies TRANSIT `-O----------O---' University of Toronto -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
