Package: linux-image-3.2.0-4-486
Version: 3.2.78-1

cpu fan doesn't start automatically. The result is to high temperature.
If i boot different OS fan works ok.
If i enter bios fan works ok.
If i restart or boot while in high temperature to debian, system says "critical temperature" and auto shuts down.
The machine is a laptop. It uses the problematic i2c chip with the problematic lm75 driver.
I am attaching a hardinfo report
Thank you.

So the BIOS is able to control the fan if you don't try to take
control.

It's possible that the BIOS setup program has some options for fan
control, e.g. sometimes there's a 'quiet' setting which isn't really
effective.

In case the BIOS fan control code relies on external temperature
sensors, you may need to improve heat transfer from the CPU by
replacing the thermal compound.

As a last reort you may have to work around the bad BIOS behaviour by
enabling the lm75 module again and configuring the fancontrol daemon.

As this doesn't look like a kernel bug (the kernel is not preventing
the BIOS from controlling the fan) I'm closing it.

Ben.
