Bug#259481: ACPI Turns Off Fan, Allowing Overheating

[Daniel Burton <dan@spaz.org>]

Package: kernel-image-2.6.7-1-686
Version: 2.6.7-2
Severity: important
File: kernel-image-2.6.7

As soon as I boot up and ACPI loads, the fan on my laptop turns off, 
allowing it to overheat.  This is a Compaq Evo N620c.  It also does this 
in kernel-image-2.6.6-1-686.  I can't produce a boot log, because the 
overheating happens so fast that it literally won't boot up again 
afterwards (the automatic safety mechanisms kick in and shut it down), 
and I don't want to damage the hardware.

I'll try to see if I can change the BIOS settings to override the 
the fan state and get a boot log.
