On May 20th, I posted the comment to the bug report that says "After
upgrading servers to 10.04 LTS, I still get the same error message from
pwmconfig."
In my posts of 6 Nov 2009, I said that the bug was introduced with kernel
2.6.28-16-generic. This is not a problem with just my TYAN servers. If you
search Google for "karmic fancontrol" you will find that people are having
this problem with laptops, desktops, and servers of almost every brand. For
some people the fan never turns on resulting in systems that overhead, while
others like myself are wearing earplugs because their systems sound like a
C130 Hercules Turboprop taking off.
This is not a stability issue for me, but for people with systems with fans
that never turn on, it is a serious stability problem. I agree that it is
not probably worth fixing in Karmic, but it should be fixed in Lucid, since
it is LTS.
