Does grep _WDG /proc/acpi/dsdt matches? 2. Is this only when resuming from a suspend? 3. Do you get semaphore/mutex errors in the latest 2.6.16-rc3 or higher kernels? Best is you grep bugzilla.kernel.org for fan problems assigned to the ACPI component. Search for a related one and add your info (dmesg and acpidmp output of a recent kernel) or open a new one if you think it's unrelated. Please CC me. Thomas
