FWIW, I have noticed the same behaviour on a Tibook rev III |
| 9 |
(PowerBook3,4), though the change in fan behaviour happened to me |
| 10 |
between two 2.6 versions (not very sure which ones, but I am almost |
| 11 |
sure that 2.6.7 was between the last kernels that made the fan shut up |
| 12 |
from time to time). |

By the way, I since upgraded the logic board and the machine has |
| 15 |
become a rev IV. The fans (now two of them) seem to be on all the |
| 16 |
time. This is not so much of a problem anymore since the fans are |
| 17 |
much more silent than the original (sole) fan, but I am not sure |
| 18 |
whether this is as it should be. |

As far as I know the fans are hardware controlled on these models, so |
| 21 |
the fans should not be affected by a kernel change... except that they |
| 22 |
do just that. Must be grmelins in there or something. |

If it was so, it might be; and if it were so, it would be; but as |
| 28 |
it isn't, it ain't. That's logic. |
