[Bug 42520] Re: Fan NEVER goes off on thinkpad r50e

[Giovanni Lovato]

Same problem on Acer TM8204, Intel Centrino Duo. The fan starts at maximum speed after 10 minutes of use and then won't stop until shutdown or reboot. No matter of CPU utilization or AC/battery power.
/proc/acpi/fan/ is empty, CPU throttling seems not to do anything:
# acpi -t
     Battery 1: charging, 43%, 00:03:18 until charged
     Thermal 1: ok, 87.0 degrees C
# cat /proc/acpi/processor/*/throttling 
state count:             8
active state:            T0
state available: T0 to T7
states:
   *T0:                  100%
    T1:                  87%
    T2:                  75%
    T3:                  62%
    T4:                  50%
    T5:                  37%
    T6:                  25%
    T7:                  12%
state count:             8
active state:            T0
state available: T0 to T7
states:
   *T0:                  100%
    T1:                  87%
    T2:                  75%
    T3:                  62%
    T4:                  50%
    T5:                  37%
    T6:                  25%
    T7:                  12%
