After upgrade from suse 11.1 to 11.2 there is no fan control available under linux which causes acer aspire 5315 and as far as I know other laptops from aspire series to overeheat. The same aply to kernel 2.6.33-r5 on standard and pae kernel on opensuse 11.1 everything is fine.
Marked as a regression.
openSUSE 11.1 was based on 2.6.27. Any chance to identify the first major kernel release the problem was present in?
I will try, but previously I had to go hospital so didn't have time to do this. I only checked 2.6.29 kernel-default on my laptop and it still causes overheat. I'll try to do more in weekend.
2.6.29-114 seems little better but temperature seems to increase but more slowly. results of: 1.acpi -t Battery 1: charged, 100% Thermal 1: ok, 40.0 degrees C (This is false result,showing constantly 40 degrees no matter how temp changes) 2.acpi -V Battery 1: charged, 100% Thermal 1: ok, 40.0 degrees C AC Adapter 1: on-line 3.sensors acpitz-virtual-0 Adapter: Virtual device temp1: +40.0°C (crit = +100.0°C) coretemp-isa-0000 Adapter: ISA adapter Core 0: +42.0°C (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C) I don't see /proc/acpi/fan directory. In /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/TZ01/cooling_mode result -> <setting not supported>
Cannot find kernel 2.6.28 in any opensuse repo. Cannot compile from source due to overheat.
I give up. Switching to XP - only valuable solution.
