[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1331251] Re: [Dell Studio 1558] kernel is missing support for i8k module
Christopher, I performed these steps, in the order that they were listed: 1. Uninstall i8kutils 2. Download and install the upstream Utopic kernel 3. Reboot At this point, I heard the fan turn on high, and assumed that this was related to the uninstallation of i8kutils. Surely enough, reinstalling i8kutils caused the fan to immediately turn off, despite the processor being at rather a high temperature. The issue I mentioned about overheating with the new kernel is now perhaps not of Linux but instead of i8kutils' installed service i8kmon. Running: ~# service i8kmon stop on tty1 prevented i8kmon from further interfering with my fan after me manually setting it with i8kfan, allowing me to compile Inkscape in a record time of 10 minutes. TL;DR the reported bug is fixed in upstream.

Related bug #1324372 [Dell XPS 15 (L502X)] i8k kernel module crashes system Upstream kernel (3.15.0-031500rc7-generic) does not truly fix the issue either: while I can control the fan, it appears as though the kernel is not effectively blocking the SMM BIOS control mechanisms from regaining control in about 5 seconds. To put it more simply: running i8kfan to control the fans works — for 5 seconds. Then the fans turn off completely again. Not good for a machine that is at a severe overheating risk. There is no way to keep the fans on, even during intensive CPU usage. Reaching its maximum operating temperature, the machine shuts down to avoid serious damage to the processor.

i8kutils works with the upstream kernel. i8kfan runs the fan for about 4 seconds, then immediately drops it back down to 0.
