Hi,
I have recently bought Fujitsu-Siemens AMILO Pro V2030 LapTop and tried installing Debian on it along with XP Pro. Under Debian other hardware seems to be working fine except a FAN that runs continuously.

Under XP it cuts-in and out (controlling temperature).
Status is as follows:

cat proc/acpi/thermal zone/THRM/polling freq
"polling frequency: 30sec"

cat proc/acpi/thermal zone/THRM/cooling mode
"cooling mode active"

cat proc/acpi/fan/FAN/state
"status on"

cat proc/acpi/thermal zone/THRM/temperature
"temperature 42C"

cat proc/acpi/thermal zone/THRM/state
"state ok"

cat proc/acpi/power resource/PFAN/state
" state: off
system level: S0
order: 0
reference count: 0"

Any Idea??????

try booting with no ACPI... but if this causes the fan to be off all the time, that is obviously not good.

I've come across issues with this in a couple different places (just in my regular reading habits online. As I said above, I seem to remember that booting without ACPI seems to help
