Bug 122385 – thermal & fan for laptop users

(sorry about my bad english)

I think it could be a good idea to add a little something about loading thermal and fan before the chroot for laptop users

I have a laptop (HP nc6000) and without this module, the computer is very hot.

I have do :
modprobe fan
modprobe thermal
(to late, temperature was critical 106

Which guide are you referring to? The power management guide was just updated; please check and see if this helps.

Alternatively, just build fan and thermal *into* your kernel, *not* as modules.

"Before the chroot" implies that this is for the installation handbook. Well, there are new installation CDs out for 2006.0; please use those. Also, we already have optional boot parameters in the handbook for the CDs: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=2#doc_chap3

"acpi=on" implements acpi detection and initialization; just be sure to boot with that option.

Please reopen if you referred to a different doc (please tell us which doc it is!)
