[opensuse-factory] OpenSuse 11.0beta2 seems to overheat processor
Hi, Before entering a bug, I thougt it might be good to drop this here. Since install of OS11.0B2 on my Acer laptop 1710 (Pentium 4 at 2.8 GHz, 1,5 GB memory), the reported processor temp is way too high. Simply opening one session and running only gkrellm, proc temp gets up til 73 degr. Celsius; the fan is running fast accordingly. Even without a session, only the graphical login displayed, one can hear the fan speeding up, until after one or two minutes it gets at it top speed. gkrellm reports virtually no processor activity, so - is the temperature reported incorrect? or - what is heating the processor up, if it has almost nothing to do? Before 11B2 it ran 10.3 without these findings. I'm eager to hear your comments! regards, Jogchum Reitsma --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

What does $ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu?/cpufreq/scaling_governor show? Are modules processor and thermal loaded?

I have a Acer 1501LCe laptop (XP3000+/1800 Mhz) that won't even allow an install. I think it's a weak CPU, 11.0 anything sets powersave to Performance and it powers off part way through the configuration. I have had to use zypper to get from 10.3 to 11.0 Alpha1 right throug to 11.0 beta2, CD/DVD installs are not possible on that laptop. Sounds like it's a laptop CPU problem rather than a software bug.

On another laptop which doesn't suffer the same problem (travelMate 7520), though it looks to be on the high side while currently building a new kernel. I may add this to the bug tomorrow. processor : 0 vendor_id : AuthenticAMD cpu family : 15 model : 104 model name : AMD Turion(tm) 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-58 stepping : 2 cpu MHz : 1900.000 cache size : 512 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 2 core id : 0 cpu cores : 2 apicid : 0 initial apicid : 0 fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 1 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 ht syscall nx mmxext fxsr_opt rdtscp lm 3dnowext 3dnow rep_good pni cx16 lahf_lm cmp_legacy svm extapic cr8_legacy 3dnowprefetch bogomips : 3855.76 TLB size : 1024 4K pages clflush size : 64 cache_alignment : 64 address sizes : 40 bits physical, 48 bits virtual power management: ts fid vid ttp tm stc 100mhzsteps processor : 1 vendor_id : AuthenticAMD cpu family : 15 model : 104 model name : AMD Turion(tm) 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-58 stepping : 2 cpu MHz : 1900.000 cache size : 512 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 2 core id : 1 cpu cores : 2 apicid : 1 initial apicid : 1 fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 1 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 ht syscall nx mmxext fxsr_opt rdtscp lm 3dnowext 3dnow rep_good pni cx16 lahf_lm cmp_legacy svm extapic cr8_legacy 3dnowprefetch bogomips : 3855.76 TLB size : 1024 4K pages clflush size : 64 cache_alignment : 64 address sizes : 40 bits physical, 48 bits virtual power management: ts fid vid ttp tm stc 100mhzsteps # sensors k8temp-pci-00c3 Adapter: PCI adapter Core0 Temp: +56.0°C Core0 Temp: +60.0°C Core1 Temp: +56.0°C Core1 Temp: +57.0°C Temperature readings not changing throughout the build.
