hi list, |
2 |
|
3 |
some time ago i asked about differences in thermal-management between |
4 |
2.4 series kernels and 2.6 series kernels, since with a 2.6 kernel the |
5 |
tibook seems to get a lot hotter than with a 2.4 kernel. |
6 |
|
7 |
i then tried some older 2.6 kernels because i was told that the change |
8 |
was made somewhere in the early 2.6 releases and not at the switch from |
9 |
2.4 to 2.6. but even with the earliest 2.6 kernels the system still gets |
10 |
very hot and the fan will run continuously. |
11 |
|
12 |
i then booted macos (10.3.4 IIRC) and to my great dissapointment the |
13 |
system stayed cool and the fan would only start running if the system |
14 |
actually had something to do (like opening a so called "popunder" ad |
15 |
with lots of bells and whistles in firefox). |
16 |
|
17 |
this shows that there _is_ a way of keeping the system cool, even if it |
18 |
is one of those rotten tibooks. but i don't want to use macos. or in |
19 |
other words i just can't stand it (from my usability point of view it's |
20 |
even worse than windows, despite the fact that it actually is a real |
21 |
unix inside, but all that apple-gui-junk makes me puke my guts out). |
22 |
|
23 |
now the actual question is: why is the thing getting that hot when |
24 |
running linux? i tried anything from disabling each and every daemon, |
25 |
shutting down the harddisk, disabling x, and still, even with a load |
26 |
average of 0.00 and the harddisk turned off, the system's getting damn |
27 |
hot and the fan would run continuously. |
28 |
|
29 |
any help is appreciated! |

thanks in advance and best regards, |
