 |
|
Hello all,
I've installed Gentoo on many different desktop machines but this is my first laptop. My issue is If I boot to the Gentoo 2005.1 live CD it seems as if my fan kicks on and off when It's supposed to. But when I have my base system setup It will not. I have tried all kinds of stuff in this kernel (2.6.12-gentoo-r2 & 2.6.14-gentoo-r4(I believe these are right, not at my machine) Toshiba_acpi, Toshiba, speedstep_centrino
.all kinds of stuff. I can't get these modules to load. This machine seems to have the Toshiba BIOS as when you boot you have to press ESC to get into the 10 or so settings. If i'm wrong on this I'd love to know. Also if the machines fan doesn't seem to start and it's sitting there for a while and I | Code: | | cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THCL(CR)/temperature |
it will output the temp and if it's high it will kick on the fan, but not if I don't "cat" this.
$ cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor : 0
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
cpu family : 6
model : 13
model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 2.00GHz
stepping : 8
cpu MHz : 1999.825 <-- or something close to this
cache size : 2048 KB
fdiv_bug : no
hlt_bug : no
f00f_bug : no
coma_bug : no
fpu : yes
fpu_exception : yes
cpuid level : 2
wp : yes
flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss tm pbe est tm2
bogomips : 1572.86
I'm at a complete loss. Any help would be great. I'm going to install X on it when I get home, this way I can copy and paste! 
Thanks for any help.

Holy crap! that was fast
Thanks, Is your machine similar in specs?
I can get the cpu to throttle with "echo" and with using states but the centrino/Toshiba stuff and fan issue are really annoying. |

Well my cpu is a centrino too with 1.7GHz, try this guide, the fan problem solved itself automatically for me i am not sure about you though since i am really not a guru, but that daemon cpufreqd is really useful if you want to speedstep, it is well guided in my opinion, but feel free to ask i will do my best to answer you question if you have any.

Great thanks!
All information is useful to me as I'm going to try everything. In the next few days I'm hoping to have this working as I'm using this for my small business. |
