[Bug 525756] Re: Aspire 5315-2713 overheats shuts down using Ubuntu 9.10

[Dezemerel]

Hi

Im also affected by this bug.

I think this could be a Kernel bug, because I have done some tests in
Debian.

The laptop would work fine if started from a older kernel, however, if a
relatively new kernel is selected in the grub boot menu, the fan will
not work correctly.

Also I have found a workaround to this issue, but its a very bad one:
let the computer overheat (!!) until it shutdowns, and then turn it on
immediately. The fan will remain set at 100% speed, so it wont overheat
again.

This makes me believe that maybe the issue is that the computer
temperature / fan speed is fixed at boot, so if the temperature at boot
is cool, the fan wont be turned on, and if the temperature at boot is
hot, the fan will be set to run at 100% until the system is halted.

Sorry for my bad english, and for not providing more data. If there is
anything I could add, please let me know.
