Re: cpu overheating

Hello,
When i do a cold start, the cpu fan barely spins. The result is that
in a few minutes the cpu overheats and the system automatically shuts
down. When i immediately turn it on again, the system detects the
cpu's high temperature and begins spinning at higher speeds for the
rest of the time. In both cases, the cpu fan never icreases or
decreases it's speed, it just continues spinning at a constant speed
since the system's startup.
I have a debian-amd64 notebook, with a turion64 processor. The above
mentioned behavior remains no matter what kernel i use.
Any sollutions to that??
Thanks,

To me, this looks like the bios set the fan speed to what is right at
the moment,
expecting linux to take over fan control. And then linux does nothing.
Do you have the acpid package installed? It works for me,
turning the fan on and off from now and then.
The powersaved package might also be a good idea.
