Heyho!
With 2.6.31 (as packaged by Debian), kernel and BIOS are still fighting over
who controls the fan on my Acer AOA-150.
If the system is idle, I see repeated
Nov 20 08:07:12 laeggerli kernel: [100246.224141] acerhdf: temp 51
Nov 20 08:07:12 laeggerli kernel: [100246.272136] acerhdf: fan OFF
Nov 20 08:07:22 laeggerli kernel: [100256.328145] acerhdf: temp 51
Nov 20 08:07:22 laeggerli kernel: [100256.376072] acerhdf: fan OFF
(and the fan is turned on and off accordingly, using a rather noisy speed
for ca. .5s every time.)
As soon as the system gets a bit warmer, fan is running on low speed and the
system is much quieter.
ISTR reading that this should have been fixed in 2.6.31, or was that wrong?
Did anything change in current kernels or the separate releases of the
acerhdf driver? I might be able to run newer driver releases, or at least I
can provide more info if desired (and if you're patient to deal with quite
slow round trip times from my side. It's not an urgent problem either.)
cheers

Hey Adrian,
issues with AOA 150 netbooks should be solved with current 2.6.32-git tree.
You can also try to use latest acerhdf of http://piie.net
kind regards,

Seems to work fine. That was the fix I thought was already included in
2.6.31.
thanks a lot.

Is that commit ded0cdfc6a7673916b0878c32fa8ba566b4f8cdb ("acerhdf: fix
fan control for AOA150 model")? Should it go to -stable?

Sorry for not answering sooner.
I don't really have time to recompile / test more at this time; in any case,
I think it's just a minor annoyance and not what I'd feed into a "fixes
only" tree. (I'm not involved in kernel development in any way, but I
thought that the stable tree should be quite limited in what goes in?)

Your call. The rules of stable are pretty simple: (1) the patch needs to
fix a _real_ problem and (2) it needs to be rather small. AFAICT, both
apply here.
