https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=736077 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=736077#c28 --- Comment #28 from Thomas Renninger <trenn@novell.com> 2012-04-16 09:54:47 UTC --- Mark: Can you please make sure to upload data in "easily readable format". Best is plain text, if it's quite some data, you may want to gzip/b2zip it or it it's quite some files, best tar the files to one. When you upload the attachment, please make sure to choose the correct content type from the check box or drop down menu. Can you please again upload acpidump output and choose text/plain as attachment format, please. Unfortunately the support status of toshiba acpi driver is "orphaned": TOSHIBA ACPI EXTRAS DRIVER L: platform-driver-x86@vger.kernel.org S: Orphan F: drivers/platform/x86/toshiba_acpi.c Mark: I expect you checked that you run the latest BIOS? As this is a mainline kernel problem you should file a bug here as well: bugzilla.kernel.org Let's take this as "main" bug and let's concentrate on the latest kernel of the day version. Please attach as plain text: - full dmesg output - dmidecode output - acpidump output Please add me (trenn@suse.de) to CC. Joey also has kernel bugzilla account Some additional things you can try: - Try to not load the toshiba_acpi driver, add: blacklist toshiba_acpi to /etc/modprobe.conf.d/99-local.conf - If the thoshiba_acpi driver is loaded a "force fan" mode can be chosen. Syntax is weird, looks like what Joey said: a fitting userspace tool should get used. You might be able to give it a try by: cat /proc/acpi/toshiba/fan check the value and change it by: echo " force_on : 1" >/proc/acpi/toshiba/fan or echo " force_on : 0" >/proc/acpi/toshiba/fan (not sure I got this right. Be careful to take over the whitespaces). I won't have that much time to look at it closer, but with some luck we get the attention of some others with similar problems. You may also want to double check these (I didn't look at them at all, simply grepped for ACPI fan issues on Toshiba. Looks like Toshiba laptops have/had quite some fan issues on Linux): [Bug 6315] Fan control broken for Toshiba Satellite A40 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6315 [Bug 14529] fan control not working - Toshiba M900 https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14529 [Bug 29782] toshiba_acpi, issues with high temperature (fan does not cool), etc. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29782 [Bug 42946] Toshiba Portege M901(Series M900) fan can't start properly https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42946 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
