linux-image-2.6.18-3-powerpc64: iMac G5 overheats
Package: linux-image-2.6.18-3-powerpc64
Version: 2.6.18-7
Severity: important
Fan control doesn't work properly: Using this kernel on my
first-gen iMac G5 causes it to overheat if the ambient
temperature is in the high twenties (Celsius) or above.
(The computer shuts down and refuses to start up again,
till it's cooled down.)
If I remove the fan control drivers so that they're running
at full blast continuously, the computer otherwise works
fine. Presumably making the fan more aggressive at higher
temps would fix it.
