I'm a sucker for punishment so I looked around for a document that gave me every possible command line parameter that I could pass to the Kernel (Why is it that the 2.6.20 kernel is still saying to pass pci parameter over the command line when I read that those don't work any more with Kernel 2+ anyways)
Anyway, I tried a whole bunch of commands... most of them to do with ACPI since that is where my problem is. I passed acpi_fake_ecdt on boot and I can confirm that there is an audible difference in my fan speed. Without being able to physically verify it I have to go by the sound it makes but I am VERY sure it is going faster now. There still is no control over the fan speed thermal sensors but a faster fan will keep my system a little bit cool, I hope. I have another laptop with an AMD processor in it that has the same problem, I will boot it with this parameter as well and see if I get a faster rate. Nothing seems broken either, sound, video, frequency stepping and WLan all still seem to work fine. I know you are all busy but has anyone looked at this bug report yet??? -- NO ACPI FAN CONTROL AMD ATHLON64 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/111576 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
