cpu overheating
Hello, When i do a cold start, the cpu fan barely spins. The result is that in a few minutes the cpu overheats and the system automatically shuts down. When i immediately turn it on again, the system detects the cpu's high temperature and begins spinning at higher speeds for the rest of the time. In both cases, the cpu fan never icreases or decreases it's speed, it just continues spinning at a constant speed since the system's startup. I have a debian-amd64 notebook, with a turion64 processor. The above mentioned behavior remains no matter what kernel i use. Any sollutions to that??

Re: Re: cpu overheating
Perhaps there is a BIOS option to enable/disable dynamic fan speed control. Sounds like it's enabled and not working too well. Disabling it shouldn't interfere with user/kernel software that tries to control it later. I entered bios settings and disabled the option 'AMD PowerNow Technology'. There wasn't any other fan-related option. That did the trick!!! Thanks Andy! Constantine -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Hello, I installed a custom linux kernel (ver 2.6.20.4) using the config file from the working (on my machine) debian-2.6.18-3-amd kernel and it boots without problems! Who needs 2.6.18-4?? :) Thanks for all the help guys. Constantine -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I removed the 'vga=' part from grub but still no boot. As soon as i find the time, i will test the rest of the available amd64 kernels and report back on the outcome. Thanks, Constantine -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi I had the same problem but I was quite sure I had done something wrong. But what I suggest is that you insert the install CD and boot the computer (without installing anything) Then you go to a shell ctrl F2 and do the following #mkdir mnt #mount /dev/hda3 #chroot /mnt #mount -a then you can use dselect to install and repair what is needed. I recommend that you reinstall the linux-image. Hope it helps and be careful. /Gudjon I followed Gudjon's advice and manualy removed package linux-image-2.6.18-4 via the 'apt-get remove linux-image-2.6.18-4' command and then reinstalled it via 'apt-get install linux-image-2.6.18-4'. The problem persists. :( Constantine -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
