> well, we have a little problem about trip points, since the only indicated |
91 |
there is the critical one and you don't have passive ones. |
92 |
well, we'll need to do a little work on the manual scripts to have the fan |
93 |
work and to be sure that the thermal won't reach critical trip point where |
94 |
it would shutdown. |
95 |
i'll take a look and post some scripts that should help. you'll have to be |
96 |
sure that you have installed lm_sensors and cpufrequtils and that you have |
97 |
compiled the cpufreq modules into the kernel or as modules and you'll have |
98 |
them loaded at boot. we'll have to make the processor slow down when the |
99 |
thermal goes too high. also i'd like to know what are the capabilities of |
100 |
your processors: |
101 |
a cat on the /proc/cpuinfo and then on cat /proc/acpi/processor/CPU(x)/info |
102 |
where (x) is the number of the core to know what sort of management it can |
103 |
support. you should have cpu0 and cpu1 if you have a dualcore. |
