As another poster mentioned I was compiling a kernel because DMA wasn't enabled. Another reason was that fancontrol and sensors report "no sensors found". lm_sensors DOES seem to be working (CPU runs slower under low load) and with a previous Debian installation on this motherboard sensors DID work. I figured it must be a missing kernel option. Unfortunately none of the options I selected seem to have done the job. (I'll continue this in a new thread.) Hamish said that there is rarely a need to compile your own kernel with Debian. I think I must have missed something. Is there a ways to do a simple 'apt-get install new_kernel'? I did a google search for something like 'debian kernel install', but all of the hits described compiling your own new kernel. Craig
