I am using 2.6.27-10 kernel, Ubuntu 8.10. dmesg output: ..... [ 2924.116311] ACPI: Unable to turn cooling device [f7418738] 'on' [ 2930.116232] ACPI: Unable to turn cooling device [f7418738] 'on' [ 2936.116236] ACPI: Unable to turn cooling device [f7418738] 'on' [ 2942.116236] ACPI: Unable to turn cooling device [f7418738] 'on' [ 2948.116234] ACPI: Unable to turn cooling device [f7418738] 'on' .... I have Shuttle KPC K4500 PC. My PC's BIOS offers 4 different settings for the CPU fan speed. Low, Medium, High and Auto. After experiencing weird resets of my PC, I changed the settings from Auto to Medium and now the PC is stable again. If you are wondering why I'm writing this report, it is because I noticed that this bug report importance is marked as undecided. Please excuse me for giving lectures, but I strongly believe that any bug that could possibly lead to hardware damage, in this case to the CPU because of a overheating, should be marked as critical. I triaged my problem, but there should be a mechanism for warning other users of Ubuntu for bugs of this type.
