------- Comment #8 from [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2007-08-06 23:02 ------- Created an attachment (id=12287) --> (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=12287&action=view) patch vs 2.6.23-rc2 to create thermal.psv This patch disables ACPI processor thermal throttling on the AOpen system on the assumption that it is a BIOS bug that _PSV is set down at 50C. Please verify that it correctly recognizes the system. If it does not, please invoke it by booting with "thermal.psv=0" Please verify that the passive trip-point is missing from /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/trip_points, and that that the system performs at full speed even when it is running above 50C. Please verify that the fan begins running when the system heats up above 50C, and that it stops running when the system cools below 50C. Please see how high you can push the temperature, given that the fan should be spinning when you cross 50 C. Note that laptops typically invoke ACPI processor thermal throttling in the neighborhood of 90C. Note also that Intel Thermal Monitor will throttle the processor automatically under hardware control starting at some temperature below 100C. The main utility of ACPI processor thermal throttling is to allow for a passively cooled system where the user is willing to sacrafice performance to reduce fan noise. Note that if the DMI entry is correct, you can disable the effect of this patch by by booting with "thermal.psv=1" -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
