I more expect wrong/weird EC values (110 C and 80 C values should be simply wrongly reported), than real fan failure. You may want to monitor this a bit: watch -n1 cat /proc/acpi/fan/*/* /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/{temperature,trip_points} (Also use your ears for monitoring :), if fan control is done by BIOS, you can at least guess from temperature and fan activity if things seem to work normal). To increase temp, you can e.g. do: "cat /dev/zero >/dev/null &" (this should keep one core busy and let increase temperature or fan activity fast. Do you still get the critical shutdowns with the smbus accessing module disabled? You should also be able to trigger this bug more often if you set THERMAL_POLLING_FREQUENCY="1" in /etc/powersave/thermal and /etc/sysconfig/powersave/thermal and restart powersaved (rcpowersaved restart). You should then be able to verify the critical shutdown more easily (only if the smbus module is loaded?). Jean Delvare has some ideas about getting legacy sensor modules and ACPI working together -> adding to CC. Christoph: If you don't see critical shutdowns anymore without legacy smbus modules, I'd like to close this one (hmm, it's worth to still make sure not loading them per default for 10.2, maybe Daniel or Jean could give me a hint how to do that, the modules should also taint the kernel IMO). Christoph: It would also be very interesting to see how this machine behaves with latest 10.3 Alpha (it's the 4th AFAIK). If you still have a free partition on your machine, it would be great to give it a test. Now we still can fix things, as soon as 10.3 is released it's getting difficult. Christoph: Could you also attach acpidump output please. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
