this was in the meetings thread...
maybe you can help me with my laptop. damn thermal zone isnt recognised in 2.6.0, so i can only turn the fan on flat out, or off (and overheat)
btw, in 2.4.* you cant even turn the fan on - overheats in a few minutes.
theres a dsdt patch for 2.4.18 which fixes it, but i cant work out how to apply it to the 2.6.0 kernel.
it doesnt seem to use the same data structure? ?:(
<edit> Syd Hancock:
Sorry, I have no idea at all, other than the obvious comment that 2.4 and 2,6 kernels are very different. A message to the list may get you some useful feedback as several people are testing versions of 2.6
I have seen on the Thinkpad list that there are some builds specifically for laptops (may be Thinkpad only?) which may help as this may be an ACPI problem. Google for Andrew Morton's patches e.g. 2.6.0-test6-mm1 (the mm suffix indicates that it is an Andrew Morton patch).
running 2.6.0-test6-mm. dosent help.
got a new problem: my bootiful new cisco 352 802.11b pcmcia card will send....but not receive. same card works a different laptop. i can talk to the card, get model number, mac address etc etc but although it requests a dhcp lease, it ignores the response... if i manually assign, it will ping itself but merely drops the packets sent anywhere else. the hub reports it present (i turned off its mac address and it then logged warnings about it) - and YES i did turn it back on.
