Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Regarding: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7393 No closer to a solution yet. I'm worried about this problem because the laptop is getting hotter than it's designed for and it is likely shortening its life. To aid in tracking it down, I could use reports of this problem happening, or not happening, with other inspiron 6000. If anyone out there has this laptop (or, hell, any in the 6000 series), could you please send: - actual laptop model - BIOS version - kernel version, (or distro/package version if you're using a packaged kernel) - output of "lspci -vv" - output of "cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state", when it's been idle for about 10 seconds (ie no CD in drive, using less than 1% CPU according to top(1) or similar, but display is on, hard disk not important), and with charger disconnected Any help is greatly appreciated. Mick.
