G5 fan revving problems.
Hi, I am new to the list. I joined manly because I was looking for a
list that would have a PPC centric bent so that I could discuss
problems I run into. I have a 1.8 GHz PowerPC G5, running OS X Tiger
(10.4.4), so my first concern is about the fan revving problem. I
have tried the Ubuntu Dapper flight 3 PPC live-CD as a starting point
to see if I could get a Debian based Linux installed on an extra
internal hard disk /(SATA). For some reason, Ubuntu thought that the
problem was solved with their latest kernel, but my experience is
that just after a couple of minutes off use, the fans start revving
like a jet engine. My question is whether there is a solution to this
or if this means that all Debian based (or even RPM based distros)
will still have the same problem?
Cheers,
Brian
