TP 240 HDD (was: [ltp] Suse 7.1)

[T Dale]

OK, thanks for the info.

But back to the original problem ... Is there anything about the Suse Linux 
installation on that drive that could have made the unit suddenly and 
inexplicably go dead, e.g. fry the system board? If such a thing is possible 
and the unit comes back with a new system board, I'd like to know before 
reinserting the same hard drive and frying another another board. I know the 
problem w/ LM sensors and Thinkpads has been mentioned here (supposedly only 
found in the 2.4 kernel, which I did not have installed). Is there anything 
else to watch for, and might LM sensors also be a feature or option in a 
previous kernel?
