I have a little update here... it turns out it is not 2.6.23.9-85 where they break, i'm currently running 2.6.23.8-63.fc8 and the fans WERE working... however my laptop was feeling a bit toasty and i checked the sensors and here is the output: $ sensors coretemp-isa-0000 Adapter: ISA adapter Core 0: +90°C (high = +100°C) coretemp-isa-0001 Adapter: ISA adapter Core 1: +90°C (high = +100°C) 90!!! that is certainly not safe. And my fans arn't spinning one bit. I havn't been able to figure out what causes it yet but *something* (maybe plugging in the power or network or something) is causing my fans to stop only in linux. I wonder if 426699 and 426771 might be duplicates of 407751 Sounds like they may be related. but the other two bugs have quite different symptoms Is there any more information i could provide to help nail it down? I don't know what has changed, but i snagged the latest kernel from koji 2.6.23.12-101.fc8 and the fans don't work from the get-go... no working for a while and eventually stopping like before. What is in /proc/acpi/fan/*/state when the problems are happening. Can you force the fans on by echoing "1" to the 'state' files? Right now, i recently restarted and i'm using 2.6.23.8-63.fc8 ... /proc/acpi/fan/ is empty... At the moment the fans are working (with 2.6.23.8-63.fc8 the fans seemed to stop working *eventually*) I'll try with 2.6.23.12-101.fc8 later where the fans seemed broken right off the bat. I tested out 2.6.24-0.167.rc8.git4.fc9 just to see what would happen, It was running for about 2 days (including some suspending and resuming) and i THOUGHT it was fine, however now the fans have stopped. It's practically idle and the temps are up around 65c. I wasn't doing anything fancy, it's clearly not something that stops from suspending and resuming.. how can i troubleshoot this? This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
