No. The onty time I hear the fan speed up is if the machine hangs, then about 45-60 seconds later it will go full. > You can "force" the fans to run on full speed by removing the > transparent cover.

My concern however is that I have two issues and the OF one is distinct from the cooling one. The machine can boot into the existing Linux (from SATA) and stay up indefinitely (if load av < 1.5) but from a cold boot, will hang in OF in under 1 minute. Maybe Forth is a real resource hog :-) My hope in posting this was that I'd find someone on this list who was knowledgable about the underlying hardware. My concern is that I'll burn the time fixing the cooling and still be left with this OF issue. -- Tony Jones SUSE Kernel Performance Team
