------- Comment #71 from [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2008-03-26 11:57 -------
My experience with BIOS v1.32 and Ubuntu Hardy (Kernel 2.6.24-12-generic
x86_64) is as follows.
1. The DSDT is compiled with the Microsoft ASL compiler, and has all the errors
that the v1.31 lacks. However, there is new code. I cleaned it up using the
v1.31 source as a model.
2. When booted with ec_intr=0 (see comment 54), the fan is on all the time, at
the slowest speed, even though the temperature in the thermal_zone is below the
threshold. The fan didn't speed up, and the thermal_zone temperature was not
updated, when I pushed the temperature higher by loading the CPU.
3. When booted without ec_intr=0, the fan stayed off, unless I turned it on
(see comment 62).
4. When booted with ec_intr=0 and acpi_osi=!Linux, the fan stayed on all the
time. However, the thermal_zone value temperature was updated, and the fan sped
up, when I pushed the temperature higher by loading the CPU. When I took the
load off, the temperature dropped, and the fan slowed down. However, the fan
never stopped altogether.
5. By ear, I can detect 4 different fan speeds, which seem to come in to play
at 50, 66, 74 and 80 C, when I set the temperature in thermal_zone manually.
Someone with better hearing may be able to identify more!
6. Once the fan is running, shut-off temperatures are a few degrees lower, eg.
45.
