Description Markus Walser 2006-11-28 20:40:54 UTC
Hi
I'm still seeing the bug as described in

                    http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5534

on the Compaq nx6125 with 2.6.18.2-33-default.

After booting the fan is working at constant medium speed. After executing a 
"acpi -t" the fan switches off and doesn't kick in when the cpu becomes hot.
Executing a second "acpi -t" switches the fan on again.
Comment 2 Markus Walser 2006-11-29 21:36:33 UTC
Looking at the source code of 2.6.18.2-33-default, obviously none of the available patches (Bug 5534/7122) is applied to the suse kernel yet. Thus the fan won't work on this and potentially other HP notebooks.
Is there a chance to get those patches (5534:#159,#160,#171 and 7122: #38,#52)
into SuSE 10.2?
Comment 4 Andreas Jaeger 2006-11-29 21:54:37 UTC
Let's first test them a bit more - and then release them with an online update.
Comment 5 Thomas Renninger 2006-11-30 08:57:02 UTC
I have an eye on these patches and already queued them for SLE10 SP1.
But as Jeff said in comment #1, this is all not ready or reliable working even in 2.6.19, therefore we should better wait to not break other machines.
Comment 6 Markus Walser 2006-11-30 12:01:23 UTC
Alright, but I can't see a comment #1 from Jeff in this bugzilla.
Comment 7 Thomas Renninger 2007-01-04 16:08:38 UTC
Even the other one is about AC/battery state, it's the same issue.
