Any idea what version e-smith is based on.  I haven't had any experience
with e-smith but I know RedHat very well, and I do specialise in hacking
to make things work.  Call me on 025 374 387 if you want me to come and
have a hack.  I will only charge if I can successfully fix it.

You got that problem too.  Have you tried taking the fans out or running
them slower, like of the 5 volt rail?  I can do the mod for you.

Sounds like it should be an easy fix. What kernel version does it use?
