I have a Toshiba A100 with kernel Linux shuffles 2.6.22-gentoo-r8 #11 PREEMPT Mon Oct 15 04:05:41 EDT 2007 i686 Intel(R) Celeron(R) M CPU 420 @ 1.60GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux When I start the system, dmesg gives me: [...] ACPI: Thermal Zone [TZ00] (39 C) ACPI: Invalid passive threshold ACPI: Transitioning device [FAN0] to D0 ACPI: Transitioning device [FAN0] to D0 ACPI: Unable to turn cooling device [f7e033d8] 'on' I've written a couple of laptop-mode-tools scripts to cat values to /proc/acpi files, but: /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/TZ00 cooling_mode: <setting not supported> polling_frequency: <polling disabled> state: ok temperature: 55 C (this seems to work, at least) trip_points: critical (S5): 106 C /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/TZ00 cooling_mode: <setting not supported> polling_frequency: <polling disabled> state: ok temperature: 55 C (this seems to work, at least) trip_points: critical (S5): 106 C /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/TZ01 cooling_mode: 0 - Active; 1 - Passive polling_frequency: <polling disabled> state: active [0] temperature: 52 C (this seems to work too) trip_points: critical (S5): 106 C active[0]: 0 C: devices=FAN0 Whenever I write any values to TZ01/trip_points, the active[0] temperature does not change, and I get more dmesg ACPI complaints about the fan. I can hear the fan varying every once in a while in heavy CPU load, but it seems to do this on its own (perhaps from the BIOS or an on-board controller), but - it never spins down below a certain point, whereas it does in windows. Any advice would be appreciated. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:

Sorry, I meant have you tested with the latest vanilla kernel: vanilla-sources-2.6.23
Please reopen when you've had a chance to test with the latest stable kernel (vanilla-sources-2.6.23.1, at this time).
