Re: CPU fans shut off by Debian?
We did think that ACPI might have been the problem initially and tried to
shut it off via boot arguements. However, the fans failed in this mode of
operation. However, we did not know about the off by one bug at that
point, might we not have been doing what we thought we were doing?
I have posted my /var/log/syslog at the following location. It's quite
long and did not want to e-mail an attachment.

Please let me know if I can provide any more information.
Thanks for your response.
