PClinuxOS 2007

sys: emachines T2385 P-4 2.3G 512MB RAM Intel chipset

error: local host kernel: CPU0: Temperature above threshold

I am receiving this message and the cause seems to be CPU fan shuts down immediately after boot, and does not restart. Fan has worked as it should in Win XP and in openSUSE latest ver. It is only in PCLOS that I have this issue. I have tried to tweak CPU fan config in bios at suggestion in another post, but to no avail. I have seen similar complaints posted elsewhere and none are resolved. Anybody have a clue? Can you steer me in a direction?

under PcLiuxOS what is the default profile for the CPU ,SuSe by default run in dynamic mode .
have a look to this
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq

cat scaling_governor and see if it's ondemand or not.

Hope this helps.

You can try compiling a new kernel with power management options that more meet your needs.

While doing a make menuconfig or make xconfig, the options of interest would be under "Power management options (ACPI, ACM)".
