I have just tested removing i8k_get_fan_type() function from the dell-smm-hwmon driver in the kernel on my Dell Inspiron 580 and the fan speed problem goes away. My patch simply replaced fan_type with fan_status in i8k_init_hwmon and used the index as the type in i8k_hwmon_show_fan_label

his commit is not necessarily the one that introduced the problem but more like the one that makes the problem very obvious! Looking forward to working with you guys to fix this! Peter. On 04/12/15 16:50, Peter Saunderson wrote: Hi Pali, Yes I can compile the kernel, yes I can debug this
