Yeah, this is only mentioned every other message. For that matter, the BIOS might also monitor the fan speeds and many other temperatures. Maybe even voltage from the PSU. Usually the BIOS is supposed to tell you what the current temp/speed/voltage is. Or maybe it's an early version of Microsoft's Palladium - it realized that you're not running the "appropriate" software on your hardware an is complaining. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
