Mac Mini Intel Core Duo: Harddisk gets hot running Dapper

[Jan Bernhardt]

* Measure temperature under OS X, e.g. Temperature Monitor
* Have the Mini running for a while at least an hour and remember the hard drive's temperature, in my case 47°C (117°F)
* Boot Ubuntu Dapper, keep it running for another hour
* Check the temperature (smartctl -a /dev/sda). Here: 54°C (129°F)

The CPU temperature under Linux is about the same as with OS X. I suspect that OS X controls the fans differently (or at all?).

Setting package to linux-source-2.6.15, so this bug gets out of the list of bugs without a package.
Can you confirm this bug still happens in edgy/feisty?
Thanks.

[Jan Bernhardt (j-bernhardt)]

The bug still exists in Edgy. I did not yet try Feisty on the Mac Mini, but I will probably try within the next weeks.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. Unfortunately we can't fix it, because your description doesn't yet have enough information.

Please include the following additional information, if you have not already done so (please pay attention to lspci's additional options), as required by the Ubuntu Kernel Team:
1. Please include the output of the command "uname -a" in your next response. It should be one, long line of text which includes the exact kernel version you're running, as well as the CPU architecture.
2. Please run the command "dmesg > dmesg.log" and attach the resulting file "dmesg.log" to this bug report.
3. Please run the command "lspci -vvnn > lspci-vvnn.log" and attach the resulting file "lspci-vvnn.log" to this bug report.
4. Please run the command "cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/* > thermal_zone.log" and attach the resulting file "thermal_zone.log" to this bug report.

For your reference, the full description of procedures for kernel-related bug reports is available at [WWW] http://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeamBugPolicies. Thanks in advance!

Also, could you attach the full output of smartctl... thanks
