Acer_fancontrol 3rd gear


Acer_fancontrol 3rd gear
I have an Acer Aspire 5315 with Backtrack 5 32bit Gnome installed on hdd with dual boot in Vista.
The laptop under Vista comes with epower technology which controls the fan.
So under Backtrack I had to download acer_fancontrol.tar.gz and make install.
Now when I boot into Backtrack the screen freezes on the BT5 backscreen and i get

cat:/proc/acpi/thermal_zone/T201/temperature:No such file or directory
3rd gear

but thats all it does.

please help
