Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo Pro 2010 / CPU fan always runs

[Michael]

Hi,
     Sorry for not spotting the acpi using and debugging section in the 
handbook before my last post. I really did spend ages looking for 
information.

As I mentioned the only acpi function that appears not to work is the fan.
What happens is that the fan defaults to on. That means it never gets 
set on by acpi as the temperature stays below the cut on value.

Well we had a hot day today and I rebuilt the kernel this took the 
temperature to the fan cut on point and after the kernel was made and 
the temperature dropped the fan cut off. It then behaved normaly.

So it appears I need to turn off the fan when acpi starts. I have had a 
look in acpi_thermal.c but can't see the wood from the trees. :-(   Can 
this be achieved by modifying the asl file ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
              Michael
