I gave 2.6.27-2 a try. It was not a neat process, as the laptop depends on Nvidia drivers and Madwifi, so I was network-less and graphics-less.
I did not hear the fan turn on. However, there were various things relating to thermal devices in /sys/* which were not there before. I tried playing with some of them, i.e. typing echo 7 >status and similar, and they had no obvious effect. However, I'm not sure if some modules were missing -- I had to hit <esc> dozens of times during the boot sequence to un-stick the process. In /var/log/syslog, there was still a error message about "ACPI Exception (thermal-0339): AE_BAD_DATA, No critical threshold", however there seem to be rather more ACPI lines in the log file than before. So, no strong conclusion, I think. Sorry for the lack of detail, but I haven't got the wireless working, so I can only move data by human memory right now. I added a line to /etc/apt/sources.list to bring in the ibex archives, then did aptitude install linux-kernel-2.6.27-2-generic. Aptitude listed over 100 things that it was holding back, but it installed the new kernel. Then I rebooted. I can try something again, if you like. -- thermal.ko fails -> no fan on laptop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/250241 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
