help.
The option with patching the kernel with an older version didn't seem worth
to me considering the potential to break other functionality of the kernel.
The problem was solved by installing Debian 6.0.6 (squeeze) for p
When my dual 2.0 G5 tower was still alive (died w/memory controller
problem in '11) I never noticed fan problems except with the first several
G5 releases from YDL. I had YDL6 (6.1 I *think*) on it last and it was
ok. The initial releases when the G5 first came out had zero fan control,

will quiet the fans down. You can put it in /etc/sysctl.conf to preserve
the setting across boots.

Hi Dimitar!
As you may know YDL was originally created by Terra Soft Solutions
(TSS), which was absorbed or bought by Fixstars. Long story short,
provided great support for all versions of YDL, which was continued by
Fixstars, for some years. Official support for YDL ended quite some
years ago (
What you're describing is the fan running at full speed - which you can

There's likely a software patch that addresses this directly.

He mentioned that it's a "Power G5 1.8GHz" which would be a G5 desktop, not
a PowerBook.
I don't recall if fan speed control was ever fully functional on the G5
tower. IIRC only Apple portables had power management facilities in the
kernel.

I gained control of the fan but there was nothing really I could do
with that except smooth out the fan start/stop, which really wasn't
enough. You need the fan to run as set at the factory to control the

Hi,
I just installed YDL on my Power G5 1.8 GHz and the fan is out of control.
It produces so much noise that after couple of minutes I have to shut down
the computer.
Is there any fix for this issue? I noticed on older posts in the forums
users have experienced similar issues in the past. From t
