This generally has to do with ACPI management (you activated ACPI in your kernel, right?) . Most often, it is due to buggy ACPI implementation in BIOS, and most probably buggy DSDT table implementation (why on earth can't they just write true ACPI-compliant BIOSes?!! Specifications are publicly available!). Maybe you should have a look at the ACPI mailing-list to see if someone reported problems like you have with your laptop. On the ACPI4linux website, there is a list of corrected DSDT table for several laptops. Give a try too. Meanwhile, you may stop your CPU fan bay hand just typing ar root: echo "3" > /proc/acpi/fan/FAN0/state but be careful about your CPU temperature! echo "1" > /proc/acpi/fan/FAN0/state should put it on. PS: note that FAN0 may be FAN1 (or whatever) on your system. Hope that will help you, David -- David Douard [EMAIL PROTECTED] 58, rue Beauvoisine 76000 Rouen France
