Seems that malling list have eat some messages, so I resend this one
again , and btw this is already put in bugzilla. by Emilio (I think)


Finally we found this errors, could be the root of the problems:

acpi_power-0392 [25] acpi_power_transition : Error transitioning device [FAN] to D3
Apr 21 15:30:46 microstar kernel: acpi_bus-0258 [24] acpi_bus_set_power    : Error transitioning device [FAN] to D3
Apr 21 15:30:46 microstar kernel: acpi_thermal-0630 [23] acpi_thermal_active   : Unable to turn cooling device [d6f57388] 'off'
Apr 21 15:30:46 microstar kernel: [ACPI Debug] String: Length 0x22, "__________________________________"
Apr 21 15:30:46 microstar kernel: [ACPI Debug] String: Length 0x00, ""
Apr 21 15:30:46 microstar kernel: [ACPI Debug] String: Length 0x08, "THRM_TMP"
Apr 21 15:30:46 microstar kernel: [ACPI Debug] String: Length 0x22, "__________________________________"
Apr 21 15:30:46 microstar kernel: acpi_bus-0258 [24] acpi_bus_set_power    : Error transitioning device [FAN] to D3
Apr 21 15:30:46 microstar kernel: acpi_thermal-0630 [23] acpi_thermal_active   : Unable to turn cooling device [d6f57388] 'off'

well maybe the better is open a ticket on bugzilla with this errors.



not related with acpi but what is this can't be turned off ?
atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0x7a on isa0060/serio0).
atkbd.c: This is an XFree86 bug. It shouldn't access hardware directly.
