------- Comment #8 from [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2008-01-04 15:03 ------- active[0] is the temperature where the fan starts spinning at full speed once exceeded; at the moment the fan is set to 60% speed (FanEQ). No dmesg spam so far. Now I am compiling something, the CPU temp is 60C°+, the fan starts spinning at full speed and the dmesg spam starts: ACPI: Transitioning device [FAN] to D0 ACPI: Transitioning device [FAN] to D0 ACPI: Unable to turn cooling device [f7c165a0] 'on' ACPI: Transitioning device [FAN] to D0 ACPI: Transitioning device [FAN] to D0 ACPI: Unable to turn cooling device [f7c165a0] 'on /proc/acpi/fan/FAN/state still says: status: off The compile process is done now, the CPU is getting more cooler, under the active[0] limit (~43°C) and the fan DOES NOT throttle down to 60%. It's still running at fullspeed (I think this is wrong.) But there is no more dmesg spam. This is really strange for me. -- 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: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
