I note that there is a DSDT.aml file for this laptop in bug 254688, along with a comment that there are a couple of errors in the laptop's original DSDT file. (DSDT.aml is all part of the ACPI stuff.) https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/254688 .
Incidentally, by 2.6.27-7 kernel, the error message has mutated to this: Oct 19 11:16:12 nglap kernel: [ 2.370165] ACPI Exception (thermal-0377): AE_OK, No or invalid critical threshold [20080609] Using the repaired DSDT.aml was not the cause of the changed error message. Presumably, something was modified in the kernel. FYI, these are the thermal devices I see with a 2.6.2.7-7 kernel, Intrepid Beta release as of today. Anyone know what I should expect to see? $ cd /proc [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/proc$ find . -name '*thermal*' 2>/dev/null ./acpi/thermal_zone [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/proc$ cd ../sys [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/sys$ find . -name '*thermal*' 2>/dev/null ./devices/virtual/thermal ./devices/LNXSYSTM:00/ACPI0007:00/thermal_cooling ./devices/LNXSYSTM:00/ACPI0007:01/thermal_cooling ./devices/LNXSYSTM:00/device:00/PNP0A08:00/device:23/device:25/thermal_cooling ./bus/acpi/drivers/thermal ./class/thermal ./module/processor/holders/thermal ./module/thermal [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/sys$ It's still true that the fan is on (only the merest whisper), but real cooling only starts when the processor temperature exceeds 60C. -- thermal.ko fails -> no fan on laptop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/250241 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
