Re: HP/Compaq NC6120 ACPI problems

Hi,

just a small observational update:

* applying the latest ACPI patch + the patch you recommended doesn't
  solve the issue
* during boot-up, the fan.ko module doesn't get loaded automatically
  and hence there is no /proc/acpi/fan entry. If I modprobe it manually,
  the fan/ directory is created with four subdirectories C253 through
  C256, each having only a state entry; all are set to off
* if I try to change them to on by 'echo 0 > ...' or 'echo on > ...',
  it doesn't work - they all remain set to "off".

Thanks; if there's anything I can do to help, please let me know!

Bye,

Andrej
