Same thing with my Dell Latitude C400. I've heard of other people having the same problem, too. Personally, I don't mind the fan that much as I can simply turn it off using i8kctl or i8kfan (while true ; do i8kfan 0 0 ; sleep 0.3 ; done). However, the CPU itself either believes or is told that it is running at a temperature of 85°C so performance is down to something like 25%. For me, it only happens after a resume from suspend-to-RAM, but I have not been able to find any way to reproduce the behaviour. It seems to happen less often it A/C is plugged in after suspend and plugged out before resume. And it happens more often if the machine is suspended for a longer time. Cheers, Marcus -- Marcus C.
