Re: PROBLEM: CPU fan shuts down on load of fan.ko in kernel 2.6.18 and later

[Matthew Brett]

Hi,

If BIOS does not export fan controls to OS via DSDT, it means that BIOS
wants to control fans via its own means (hardware), this doesn't mean
that your machine is at risk, it only means that you are not allowed to
tamper with it...

Well, except the original poster complained that linux but not windows
was shutting down the fan - meaning - surely - that somehow linux is
tampering with the fan when it should not.

Best,

Matthew
