Comment 0 for bug 24308

Good morning,

before i report this bug i wrote my problem on the italian mailing-list and on the
devel. mailing-list, but i have received no answer!

MY LAPTOP:

HP NX6125 - AMD Turion 64 bit 1.8 Ghz - 80GB HD - 512 RAM - Video Ati Radeon Mobility
X300 - SO Breezy Colony 4 updated.

MY PROBLEM:

To work with my laptop i've to add the following command line to the korpline:

no_timer_check

Without it i can't work with my pc. It works to slow. Now i've the following
problem:

Sometimes (very often) the cpu fan doesn't star to cool when the temperature
goes above the safety limit. The result is that my pc stops itself.

Two weeks ago, i've noticed a particular behavior of my laptop. During a
work session wiht my laptop i run the following command: acpi -t and the CPU
fan began to work. When i noticed it, i thought it was a coincidence. After
an hour i tried again: acpi -t and the CPU fan began again to cool the CPU.

I decided to make an experiment. During a week i gave regurarly (every 5-10
minutes) acpi -t during the work session. The result was a regurarly
functioning of the CPU fan. After the work session (so i didn't use the pc
and didn't gave acpi -t) i didn't switch off my laptop. The result was: the
laptop swichted off itself everytime.

At the moment i overcame the problem using crontab. I scheduled every 5
minutes the command acpi -t. The CPU fan works very well. It stars around
55-60°.

Unfortunately i can't find the reason of this problem (CPU fan) and the
reason of this particular behavior of the acpi - t command (i thounght acpi
-t prints simply the temperature. I didn't think that it could have some
influence on the CPU fan).

What do you think about that?

Thanks.

Alessandro
