Comment 12 for bug 63834

2 more points:

1) If some newbie is reading this: to add a parameter to the boot sequence
please edit a commented line which looks like this:

# kopt=root=UUID=2ea921be-867d-4841-a08c-5e91661aa5b8 ro i8042.nomux

and add the parameter to it. Then execute "update-grub". Do not edit directly
the grubentries.

2) When I suspend to disk, and the machine is down for a long period (about 20
mins is long enough), when the machine resumes the fan does not spin.

I should mention that this happens with 2.6.20-16-generic, and probably not
with 2.6.17. Do still, do not upgrade to the new kernel if you have an
option.
