It reported this:

I rebooted and sensors reported:

temp1:+71.0°C  (crit = +100.0°C)

Does this help or should I still report it upstream?


It helps (it's a nice and concrete symptom), which is why we should
get this information and an acpidump upstream[*] to avoid wasted
effort from them having to discover the same things independently.

Thanks,
Jonathan

Bug#640293: Presario A975 EM: fan runs at a constant (low) speed after hibernate, until it starts to overheat

Hi Philip,

Philip Ashmore wrote:

 The thing is, when my laptop resumes from hibernate:
 The fan runs at a constant audible low speed.
 Usually the fan is so quiet it's inaudible when the cpu is idle, but after
 hibernate I know something's up.

 artsd pops up a message box - cpu overload, aborting.

 When I run something that taxes one or both cores, the fan speed doesn't
 increase, but a couple of minutes in the fan will suddenly jump to full
 emergency vent mode and the plastic casing near the vent is almost too hot
 to touch.

I think our best bet for solving this is to get help from upstream.

Please test 3.2.4-1 from unstable or newer, and if it reproduces the
bug, file a report at http://bugzilla.kernel.org/, product ACPI,
component Power-Fan and let us know the bug number so we can track it.

Be sure to attach output from acpidump, grep .  /sys/class/thermal/*/*
before and after hibernating, and dmesg after hibernating (as
separate attachments, uncompressed).

Compare https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19452.

Thanks and hope that helps,
Jonathan

Just as a last check after upgrading to 3.2.4-1 and 
hibernating/resuming, I ran sensors

from the lm-sensors package.
It reported this:
  acpitz-virtual-0
  Adapter: Virtual device
  temp1:+55.0°C  (crit = +100.0°C)

even though I was running both cores at 100% for a few minutes.

It looks like the PC doesn't know it's overheating.

I decided not to wait for the emergency vent I reported before to kick in.

I rebooted and sensors reported:
   acpitz-virtual-0
   Adapter: Virtual device
   temp1:+71.0°C  (crit = +100.0°C)

After a minute or so the fan kicked in a bit more and the temperature 
reduced gradually

to 48C.
It looks like the temperature sensor has a resolution of 7-8 degrees.

Does this help or should I still report it upstream?

Regards,
Philip Ashmore
