Hi Dhinak. Which kernel does work for you?

I tested 3.13.0-24, then 3.13.0-27 and since this week there is 3.13.0-29 to upgrade to. For my two HP nx8220 all 3 kernels do not control the cpu fan correctly! Both laptops ran Ubuntu since 7 years without major problems.
My 2 laptops are: HP Compaq nx8220 (PY518EA#UUZ)/0934, BIOS 68DTV Ver. F.16 07/11/2007

I do not agree that this bug has a "Fix Released". The upstream bug is "resolved - patch available", but there is a discussion that this patch only solves it for some hardware - not all! And for latest Ubuntu 14.04 (LTS!) it is not solved until the patch has has been backported to kernel 3.13.x - this has not been done yet either.

Therefore I think we should rewind this report to "Confirmed" to prevent affected people from opening new reports about the same issue. Please write if you disagree.

BTW: the workaround to force Powersave does work, but makes our laptops unusable slow.
