Subject: Shuttle SB61G2 fan speed
Date: Tue, 07 Oct 2003 21:45:03 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1A73Nv-0001M5-68@cell01.cell01.com> (raw)

Hi all,

I have a Shuttle mini-PC currently running linux 2.6-test6 (but I have
seen this issue w/all kernels I've tried, 2.4.x and 2.5.x).  It has a
"smart" fan control, which regulates the speed of the system fan
according to the temperature (a Thermal Zone in ACPI terms, yes?).  The
problem is: as soon as Linux gets control from GRUB, the fan goes to
full speed and stays there.

I have flashed the BIOS to the latest (which claimed to fix a fan speed
problem with Windows), but the problem persists.  So I don't know if it
is a case of pilot error, a Linux bug, or a BIOS bug.  Any help sorting
this out would be much appreciated :)

Please CC me on replies, as I'm not subscribed to acpi-devel.

--Eric
