Bug#580074: linux-image-2.6-686: acerhdf module: automatically start the fan control
Package: linux-image-2.6-686
Version: 2.6.32+25
Severity: normal
Although the acer fan control kernel module seems to be available (acerhdf), it did not work out-of-the-box. To automatically start the fan control you would need(?) do [1]:
sudo 'echo "options acerhdf kernelmode=1" > /etc/modprobe.d/acerhdf.conf'
Using an Acer Aspire One 150L ZG5 BIOS 3310, but perhaps all kernels need it (this is an Intel Atom based netbook).
Failing to do so results in a continuously spinning (small, noisy) cooling fan irrespective of temperature, unnecessarily draining battery on the netbook.
