Amt, please do not write to me directly - the mail list will be out of
our discussion - and You will suffer from this the most.
I do not advice You to do any terrible thing w/ Your laptop - adding
few lines to modules file and then removing it if necessary - is not a
big deal, nor will fry Your laptop.
We are just trying to find a solution for You - long time ago I fought
same problem and conquered it. Since that I had no problem w/ my fan.
But I do not remember all I did to solve it - therefore, I can not
provide for You a guide You are looking for. But such a situation has
another benefit - You, looking for something find other interesting
things that may help You in the future, so I suggest appreciate it too.
So, I advice You again to try to add those modules, - at least I did
not see the the powernow one. Here is mine output:
powernow_k8 17574 1
mperf 12453 1 powernow_k8
cpufreq_userspace 12576 0
cpufreq_stats 12866 0
cpufreq_conservative 13147 0
cpufreq_powersave 12454 0
processor 27949 1 powernow_k8
Try to make Yours same w/ mine. Reboot - to be sure all worked as it
should, then write back.
Sthu.
