Thanks for > the advice on how to disable this problematic and dangerous process (at > least for IBM Thinkpads.) I had a conversation with the author of lm_sensors, and he assured me that it is now pretty much harmless on Thinkpads, though it doesn't do anything useful either (at least the version that came with FC3). I left it running and it's done no harm to my T41. I tried disabling it, and it did *not* solve the freeze-on-resume problem with kernel-2.6.9-1.724_FC3. I will file in Bugzilla next time I have Internet if nobody beets me to it. -- Matthew Saltzman Clemson University Math Sciences mjs AT clemson DOT edu http://www.math.clemson.edu/~mjs
