Greetings, I've been running vanilla PPC Etch install on my 12" 600mhz G3 iBook as a server for some time, with months of uptime and no performance issues. I run it with the lid closed and pbbuttonsd configured to turn off the screen and run it in powersave mode. So it runs downclocked to 400mhz, and /proc/cpuinfo reports that the temperature is under 20 C. Everything's great with that machine.
I recently installed the same vanilla PPC Etch install on my 12" 1.33ghz G4 PowerBook and reused to pbbuttonsd configuration so I could run it in a similar configuration. /proc/cpuinfo report 666mhz but doesn't report the temperature, I get it from /sys/devices/temperature/sensor*temperatures, which reports 52 and 67 C and the fan runs frequently. I opened it up and it runs at 50 and 65 C and the fan seems to be off, but that still seems really hot. Everything is updated with the latest Etch, both machines have essentially no load, am I missing something basic for getting it to run much cooler? I haven't dug through the latest kernel releases to see if I'm missing something, it seems that it's a fairly old processor so I figure everything should be standard by now.
