Are you saying the newer G4 desktops have similar cooling like G5? Maybe the kernel driver just doesnt recognize that the system has calmed down. Its better if you ask this kind of question on
I don't really think that it has much more power management than
turning the drives off and the monitor off and things like that. I
THINK that the basic G4s have some type of thermal management, but
nothing like the G5s. He has 533 and 700s(My last reply I forgot to
send to the list). I can run my G4 chip w/o a fan, but it's a whole
lot cooler with it.
On another note, I finally got a Rage 128/16MB card. And, I am still
having issues with YaST. I will try a step by step install and see
what happens.
Lastly, I have a friend with an iBook G4 1.2Ghz. He told me that the
system will boot off his SuSE install CDs(he also tried Gentoo with the
same problem) and he gets the yaboot prompt, but he can't do anything.
The keyboard will show the numlock and caps lock turning on and off,
but he can't do anything to start the installer. Any suggestions?

It is possible that the graphics cards run at full speed due to lack of info how to throttle them, but I do not know for sure. The IDE drives can be shut down via hdparm -S 255 /dev/hda after the specified amount of time.
