Problems with dell 8600

[NeoChaosX]

Apologies to bumping back up, but I have an Dell Inspiron 5100 which is
prone to overheating, so I'd love a way to monitor fan speed, CPU
temperature and such. When I tried the "sudo modprobe i8k" command that
hector tried, I also got the FATAL error. The error also pointed out
that the i8k.ko driver in
/lib/modules/2.6.8.1-3-386/kernel/drivers/char/ is missing, but when I
check in that directory, Nautilus shows that it's there.  ](*,) I also
get the /proc/i8k not there problem when trying to run i8kutils...so
can anybody help me out here?
