How do I make it stop waiting for FAN?


I use a heat sink, not fan. How do I make it stop waiting for CPU fan on boot?

Had to disable fan in BIOS when going watercooled, but that little thing seems t be controlled through config-files? https://forum.armbian.com/topic/1293...-on-rockpro64/

Good idea. You can't presently but in the next batch of updates (maybe this week or early next) you'll be able to.
When the updates land,

as root:
Code:
mv -f /etc/rc.d/rc.platform.conf.new /etc/rc.d/rc.platform.conf
Edit /etc/rc.d/rc.platform.conf and uncomment CPU_FAN_OFF=Yes.

Everything finished today, so the updates are out. Thanks for the suggestion.
