Package: linux-image-3.19.0 Version: linux-image-3.16 ppc64 Severity: important Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer, *** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate *** I just boot the computer. And fans are gradually going full speed a few minutes after the boot. Thermal support isn't available in the 3.16 kernel (and since kernel 3.9). On powermac7.3 models (G5), the therm_pm72 used to handle the fans of the machine. It seems that the method used to instantiate this module has been deprecated. A the module is deprecated itself since december. See this thread on the kernel mailing list : http://www.serverphorums.com/read.php?12,994778,995083#msg-995083 A new module has been created for a while now, which isn't build in debian kernel : windfarm_pm72. I've built a kernel-3.19 directly with that driver (not as a module for now) and fans works as expected. I'm running Jessie with that kernel. The two options to change in the kernel config file are : # CONFIG_THERM_PM72 is not set CONFIG_WINDFARM_PM72=y (or m) A few tweaks should be also needed in module.conf to load that module at boot time. This module is available in kernel-3.16. I tried to build a 3.16 debian kernel with kernel package (first time I did) and failed. But I don't any reason why this module should not work in kernel-3.16. Can the debian kernel be built with this module instead of therm_pm72 ?
