Bug#400488: no fans after S3 sleep on many laptops
Package: linux-image-2.6.18-2-686
Version: 2.6.18-5
Severity: grave
With the kernel from linux-image-2.6.18-2-686, fans for my laptop
(HP nc6120) don't work anymore after an S3 suspend/resume cycle. This
causes the system to spontaneously shutdown under load causing data
loss (or posibly it might even break the hardware), ergo the grave
severity.
This issue is known by kernel upstream [1], and is at least partly
fixed in 2.6.19-rc4. I've been using the patches of [1] on my Ubuntu
install on this same laptop (just switched it over to debian
yesterday) for weeks, and they fixed the problem for me.
I propose that these patches are applied for etches default kernel.
