So, I recently got an Aspire 5536 and have put gentoo on it. Everything seems to run smoothly except the fan. It turns on full for about 10 seconds, then turns off before turning back on. This cycle repeats.
Now, I know that ACPI is very broken, due to the DSDT table. I'm going to have to fix that at some point, however it seems to be that there should be another method to fix this, perhaps not completely, as it worked fine with the install cd.

I was running install-x86-minimal-20091103.iso and linux-2.6.29-gentoo-r5 on my laptop. I have no idea what in the kernel could have been making my fan work, I even put the install cds config through make oldconfig and genkernel. If anyone could be of any help I would be much obliged.

Hi arathalion,

the information in the following thread might be of some help to you:

http://www.debianhelp.org/node/3731

Did you enable all the acpi stuff in the kernel? And probably those "laptop-extras" availiable for many laptop brands?

Yeah, I've got everything acpi compiled in that looks to be relevent to my laptop, so all the standard stuff (I think) and acer_wmi, but acpi doesnt detect anything cept my cpus. One thing it doesnt pick up in particular are my fans.

I should probably have mentioned that I did boot the install disk without acpi and the fans still worked properly, so there is something in there non acpi related that will fix it...

Ok, so I have most of acpi compiled into the kernel, with acer_wmi as a module. I've just tried the Aspire One fan module, but as expected it didn't work (afaik its not an Aspire One), so I have now tried them both in the kernel, as opposed to as modules.

Another thing to note, everything in /proc/acpi/ is the same (mostly empty directories or files saying that x isnt supported) between both the install and the cd.

anyway, on my laptop's gentoo install.

Well, I've now "fixed" the dsdt and there is no change. I'm completely lost. I've also tried most of the laptop extra modules, though I suppose its possible I have missed it. I figured I should post the contents of /proc/acpi and the contents of every info file in it.

Hmmm, I seem to remember having fixed a similar problem by changing the content of some files in "/sys/bus/acpi/something" long time ago. I'm short on time - if I were you I'd search the forum and google for this.

Thanks for replying. I'm not having much luck with the forum search and am running thin on time myself, but for the moment I have found the thermal_zone and some "cooling_devices" in /sys/, so I'll post that here. I also thought about retrying the power management guide and posting where it breaks.

First, /sys/
Code:

thermal # pwd
/sys/bus/acpi/drivers/thermal

thermal # ls -FR
.:
bind  LNXTHERM:01@  LNXTHERM:02@  uevent  unbind

thermal # ls -FR LNXTHERM\:01/
LNXTHERM:01/:
driver@  hid  modalias  path  power/  subsystem@  thermal_zone@  uevent

LNXTHERM:01/power:
wakeup

thermal # ls -FR LNXTHERM\:01/thermal_zone/
LNXTHERM:01/thermal_zone/:
device@  passive  subsystem@  trip_point_0_temp  type
mode     power/   temp        trip_point_0_type  uevent

LNXTHERM:01/thermal_zone/power:
wakeup

thermal # ls -FR LNXTHERM\:01/thermal_zone/subsystem/
LNXTHERM:01/thermal_zone/subsystem/:
cooling_device0@  cooling_device2@  thermal_zone1@
cooling_device1@  thermal_zone0@

thermal # ls -FR LNXTHERM\:01/thermal_zone/subsystem/cooling_device1/
LNXTHERM:01/thermal_zone/subsystem/cooling_device1/:
cur_state  device@  max_state  power/  subsystem@  type  uevent

LNXTHERM:01/thermal_zone/subsystem/cooling_device1/power:
wakeup

thermal # cat LNXTHERM\:01/thermal_zone/subsystem/cooling_device1/type
Processor

thermal # cat LNXTHERM\:01/thermal_zone/subsystem/cooling_device1/uevent

thermal # cat LNXTHERM\:01/thermal_zone/subsystem/cooling_device1/max_state
0

thermal # cat LNXTHERM\:01/thermal_zone/subsystem/cooling_device1/cur_state
0

thermal # cat LNXTHERM\:01/thermal_zone/subsystem/cooling_device0/cur_state
0

thermal # cat LNXTHERM\:01/thermal_zone/subsystem/cooling_device0/max_state
9

thermal # cat LNXTHERM\:01/thermal_zone/subsystem/cooling_device0/type
LCD

thermal # find /sys |grep fan
/sys/bus/acpi/drivers/fan
/sys/bus/acpi/drivers/fan/uevent
/sys/bus/acpi/drivers/fan/unbind
/sys/bus/acpi/drivers/fan/bind



Everything in the power management guide works fine up till I actually have cpufrequtils
Code:

thermal #  cpufreq-info
cpufrequtils 005: cpufreq-info (C) Dominik Brodowski 2004-2006
Report errors and bugs to cpufreq@vger.kernel.org, please.
analyzing CPU 0:
  no or unknown cpufreq driver is active on this CPU

Well, Finally got time to look at it again today and it turns out that it wasn't the fan I was hearing, but instead the install cd (which I had yet to take out of the drive) spinning up, stopping and then spinning up again. This can be fixed by simply taking the cd out or mounting it. Not sure what was trying to do what with it, but when its mounted the cd acts as expected, at least, I think spins down and waits for something try to read from it, so I'm not so fussed.

I will however, post the output of lspci (at the bottom) in hopes that someone could give me some idea on how to stop it. I'm guessing that I either need to compile an ata driver into my kernel that I haven't managed to find or remove whatever is constantly accessing the disk.

I'll also mark the thread as solved, as I am not to concerned if I don't fix this problem and it is not exactly what I thought it was. I must say that I do feel a little silly.

On an slightly related note, whilst looking around today I compiled powernow_k8 and so I've gotten through the power management guide.

Note:
Code:
hdparm -E 0 /dev/cdrom
doesn't actually fix the issue, as making it almost silent doesn't stop the fact that it is spinning.

If anyone has any ideas then they are appreciated, if not, then that's fine too. It's not as big an issue as I thought it was.
