Re: [BUG] Fans keep running, first found since v2.6.38-rc7

[Andreas Herrmann <andreas.herrmann3@amd.com>]

Hi Lei,

can you please provide information, which system you are using.  dmesg
(please use apic=debug kernel parameter), output of lspci -nnxxxx (as
root),

This reminds me on some HP laptop issues, see
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11715
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11516
The BIOSes on HP laptops somehow checked IO-APIC configuration
and set trip_points differently (for unknown reason).

But I need above debug info to sort this out.


Thanks,

Andreas
