Dear Frederik,

Many thanks for your quick response (its the first I've had regarding this
problem in several weeks!).

I have just tried the ec_burst=1 option on two vanilla (kernel.org) kernels:
2.6.14.1 (booting with no_timer_check also) and 2.6.13.4 (with Garrett's
double timer patch applied). (I know that these aren't Debian kernels. I will
try the Debian kernel later tonight.)

Results: 2.6.14.1 => no change; bug still present.

           : patched 2.6.13.4 => cannot get fans to come on at all! Executed

many acpi -t or cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/TZ?/temperature's and could not
get them to come on!!!

I will download the latest Debian 2.6.14 and try that with ec_burst=1. I
suspect the results will be the same.

Any other advice you can offer? Can I provide you with any other information?

Best regards
Richard

P.S. I'm emailing you from home, sorry. I read your email at work over a
klunky web interface, and emailed you back from my home address.
