Ok.
From the OS X side, go under the apple menu select About This Mac.
Then click upon more info. Check under Hardware and see if you find
something under Fan Control.
At this point I'm guessing (I don't have a G5); if Fan Control is
anywhere it should show up there. If you select it, the firmware
details should show up.
This is just a hunch, but you may just get more information by
accessing the Console within the Utilities Folder, which is found
within the Applications folder -- at least it is there in OS X
10.3.9. So open Console and look at it's logs -- all of them since
we don't know actually where this information would be. It makes
sense however that all hardware would report output to the console
log. So why not look there? Just guessing of course, but maybe
this could lead to something useful.
Best of luck...
Sooo.... I tried booting from the installer disc (YDL 4.0.1) and with
"install-g5". At least with the kernel used on the install disk, the
fan revving problem is still there. I went all the way through the
process, including partitioning and package selection before I
bailed. I have two internal SATA drives. sda (OS X) and sdb (hoping
to install Linux). I bailed because I couldn't tell which drive YDL
was about to be installed on. I know about the issue with installing
Linux on a second internal SATA drive and yaboot and PRAM settings,
but I am not prepared to change that at this time. I am just trying
to see if I can get a system without fan revving as a first priority.
Where do I go from here?
Cheers,
Brian
