Hi!
This what I get:
$ cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THM0/trip_points
critical (S5): 97 C
passive: 95 C: tc1=5 tc2=4 tsp=600 devices=0xc14defa0
Ok, assuming I am reading /usr/src/linux/drivers/acpi/thermal.c
correctly, these mean your system will start throttling the CPU when
it reaches 95C, and shutdown at 97C. Unfortunately you do not have an
'active' mode that would allow you to set the temperature when the fan
turns on or off.
Unless you have something under /proc/acpi/fan, it looks like your fan
is controlled by either the hardware or the BIOS.
$ cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THM0/cooling_mode
<setting not supported>
cooling mode: passive
I am not used to this stuff yet. What does it mean?
It means that if the system gets too warm, all the OS can do about it
is to throttle the CPU. No fan control is available....
Should I build the bios support in the kernel?
What do you mean? Do you mean APM support? If so, no, that almost
certainly will not help.
