My beautifull Gentoo system shuts down my cooling fan and my temperatures rise to alarming 77°C CPU, 75°C SYSTEM and 65°C RS300 chipset!!!!
  
I posted some weeks ago that its acting weirdly speeding up and down the cooling fan randomly, however what i didnt realize was that it wasnt speeding up and down it WAS SHUTING IT OFF AND ON.
Anyone please help! Is there an entry in kernel config that lets me SWITCH OFF the kernel or module control over FAN on my system!!!???
It is working quite nice when the mainboard controls it! It was working fine when WinXP was on it! and it works fine when I stay in BIOS.
So it must be the OS.
System is ZEN Shuttle PC. |

Do you use ACPI? Is CONFIG_ACPI_FAN set in your .config
| Quote: | CONFIG_ACPI_FAN:
This driver adds support for ACPI fan devices, allowing user-mode
applications to perform basic fan control (on, off, status). |

Yes that config var is set to 'y'. ACPI is controling my fan, however its doing a really poor job...
Any suggestions how to turn that off short of recompiling the kernel? I am worried my computer will fry itself if I try somthing like that. |

There are some tools in portage which look like they could help you.
| Code: | emerge -s acpi
or
esearch acpi |
I have no idea if those tools can aid you in your quest, but not including CONFIG_ACPI_FAN would be the "clean" way to remove that functionallity from your kernel, of course...

Thanks for the help man!
I have it currently running using acpi=off when botting. So far so good, fan is running as it should. Its a temporary fix until I fix my system or reinstall. |

So ...
What the issue ?. Boot with acpi=off, then update the kernel. This will only compile (and link) changes - should be quick. My updates for APM, ACPI etc take no time at all.
No chance of frying your system - the make system is too smart for that  |
