Hi,
Len Brown gave me your address because I talked to him
about a problem I'm having while trying installing linux (I tried
several distros)
The problem is that my notebook (a sony pcg-nvr23)
shuts down after a random number of seconds during the installation process.
I think it's an acpi problem because once I tried booting Knoppix by keeping
the temperature around
my notebook really low (it was a really cold winter night)
Looking at /proc/acpi/temperature I realized that the cpu temperature was
getting higher and higher as the second passed, untill my computer turned
off.
Another weird thing is this. I installed Suse 9.1 always being in a cold
place and it seems that the temperature is quite stable (it's not so low but
at least it's far from upper limit). I would like to know if it's possible,
a way to install any linux distribution without keeping the notebook cool.
I tried to pass these options at boot time
acpi=off
acpi=off doapm
acpi=on
but none of these trys was successful.
Do you have any suggestion?
I hope so. Thanks anyway
Giacomo
