Re: regression in linux 3.7 - fan speed at 100% after suspend/resume at 100%

Hi *,

same problem here on my HP Compaq 6910p.

I just tested with vanilla linux 3.8.2 -- unfortunately the problem
still persists.[1][2] The last (stable) kernel working for me is 3.6.11.

I'll happily provide any additional information which might help getting
this fixed. Just ask... :)

Please CC me in any response, for I'm not subscribed to lkml.

cheers

[1] FWIW, self build vanilla linux 3.8.2 with very generic config on
Debian Wheezy 64bit.
[2] FWIWÂ, I'm under the stron impression that the whole fan control
changed in the latest vanilla kernels on my 6910p even before doing
a suspend/resume -- it seems to be more "binary" if you will, in
that the fan is not running at all for a while and then at a 100%
to return back to 0% after doing some serious cooling. With 3.6.11
and older it is more "analogue", with slow fan when only a bit
cooling is needed. No idea if this is related to the issue at
hand.
