Subject: therm_adt746x: CPU fan speed inversion
Date: Tue, 03 Feb 2009 09:33:57 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1233650037.6784.350.camel@thor.local> (raw)
On my PowerBook5,8, every now and then (haven't figured out any pattern
to when it happens) the therm_adt746x module stops controlling the fan
speed properly. The problem seems to be that the fan speed range is
inverted, i.e. the fan stops when therm_adt746x thinks it's setting it
to full speed and vice versa. See below for a log of therm_adt746x
loaded with verbose=3D1 while the problem is in effect; while it looks
like the fan speed ramps up and down again, the GNOME sensors applet
agrees with my ears that the opposite happened. I haven't found any way
to recover from this other than rebooting.
Has anyone else seen this? Any ideas what the problem could be, or how
to track it down?
FWIW I'm currently running 2.6.28 kernels self-built from the kernel.org
stable tree, but I first noticed this a long time ago, possibly forever
since I've used this module. Now it's finally bothered me enough to
report it. :)
