HP nc4000 laptop fan never turns on

hey,

I have an HP nc4000 laptop with Win XP and Debian sarge dual boot, in Debian the fan never turns on and the machine gets hotter and hotter. In Win XP the fans comes on when the cpu load gets heavy and the machine stays cool. Can anybody help? Need any more info?

thanks

Hi, and welcome to LQ!

It would be helpful to know whether your kernel supports
ACPI and/or APM, if it has both try stopping the daemon
for one and starting the other.
You could post some info here:

dmesg | egrep "(APM|ACPI)"
lsmod

Cheers,
