Description Rolf Schmidt 2005-08-26 10:01:13 UTC 
Installation on PowerMac 1.8 G5 with Beta 3 went fine. But after about 3-5
Minutes running the System with SuSE Linux 10, the Fan of the Mac starts going
full force, which is making similar noise to a loud hairdryer, making further
work impossible. The Fan does not stop. The Linux Kernel cannot handle the SMU
Chip to control the Fan.

There was never a Kernel that addressed this available. It never worked.

Benh said no, so I take that as a no. for the time being.

mass reopening all SuSE Linux bugs that are set to REMIND+LATER to change the resolution to WONTFIX (adapting to new policy)

Comment 13 Stephan Kulow 2008-06-25 09:52:27 UTC 
Closing old LATER+REMIND bugs as WONTFIX - if you still plan to work on it, feel free to reopen and set to ASSIGNED.

In case the report saw repeated reopen comments, it's due to bugzilla timing out on the huge request ;(
