Description Julio Merino 2013-12-18 14:08:58 UTC

When booting the F20 installer on a PowerMac G5, the fans turn on full-speed.  It seems that there is no thermal control and the machine is just running them fast "just in case".  This is not a new issue: it happened with F19 as well.

Based on some comments I have found online, this might be just an issue with the installer.  Some people report (years ago) that, after install, the booted system should handle the fans correctly.  Unfortunately I cannot confirm this given that I have not been able to install Fedora yet on this machine (see Bug 1044537).

(Given that I cannot get the system installed yet it's hard to get further data, but I can try if you tell me whatever is needed to diagnose this.)

Thanks.
