56 Hi Volker,
57
58 THAT'S INTERESTING!!
59
60 What motherboard do you use and may be you can mail me your kernel
61 config in a personal mail ?
62 And: What exactly do you enable/disable in the BIOS of you board?
63
64 When I try to enable fan control via bios I got a warning and loud
65 beeps from the BIOS *AND* the fan do not start...
66
67 When disabling fan control, the fan starts nearly instantly
68 (acoustic-wise it is not that a problem ... the CPU fan works
69 silently...).
70
71 But what is the reason for the ACPI area conflict???
