fan does not start automatically when CPU overheated on old laptop
Hi Linux funs !
I have a troube with my cpu fan.
For years I use Debian Etch with no problem with it.
Recently I decided to install Slackware 12. Installed. So now i have both Debian & Slackware on my oldie (laptop Toshiba AMD k-7 150Mb RAM)
When I using Debian and CPU`s overheating - fun spins up unless CPU cooled down to the normal temperature. This`s normal process.
Now when I using Slackware my CPU`s fan completely turned off and does not start automatically. So, when CPU overheated - self-protection system halted my machine.
Please help me what shoud I do to solve this problem.
