Description Bevis King 2003-12-19 17:52:44 EST

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1)

Description of problem:
Since installing the 2.4.22-1.2129.nptl kernel update, my Sony VAIO
laptop has shutdown twice apparently due to overheating.  Further
experimentation showed that the 2.4.22-1.2115.nptl kernel did
correctly activate the CPU fan when required, and the
2.4.22-1.2129.nptl kernel does not.

The laptop concerned is a PCG-Z600LEK with a 700MHz Pentium III with
SpeedStep.  The problems only started occuring after the kernel update.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.4.22-1.2129.nptl

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Turn on laptop - it will cut out after approx 1 hour (depending on
temperature).
 

Actual Results:  Shutdown probably due to overheat.

Expected Results:  Remains operating normally, using cooling fan as
necessary.
