------- Comment #43 from [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2008-07-06 19:20 ------- Thanks for the test. According to the description it seems that the FAN device can be turned on/off correctly after the patch is applied. About the issue that the fan is always turned on in the boot phase, IMO this is related with the BIOS. When the FAN device driver is loaded, OS will check the power state related with the FAN device and turn on/off the FAN device.(For example: If the power state of the _PSC/_STA object is on, OS will trun on the FAN device.). But unfortunately the FAN is not turned off in the course of loading thermal driver even if the temperature is below the corresponding trip points. Maybe it is reasonable that thermal driver turns off the FAN cooling device if the temperatur is below the corresponding trip point.
