Re: Lenny overheating, preventing installation

Starting the new 5.00 Lenny DVD and selecting (any type of) install, some
5 to 10 minutes into the installation process, my laptop overheats and
shuts down. It's a HP Compaq 6715b with an AMD Turion 64 and an ATI
Radeon 1200. Needless to say, I have the BIOS option "Fan always ON when
on AC power" set to enabled, but to no avail.

Does that mean that the fan doesn't turn on at all?

It may help to disable ACPI during installation (boot parameter
acpi=off).

J.

On the contrary, the fan is at its max from the boot on. Problem is, it's no
match for my dual-core Turion when running at its max (2 GHz with 100% CPU
usage). I think it's by design, this laptop just isn't designed to be running
at 100% CPU usage for more than 5 to 10 minutes in a row.

@acpi=off. I came to that idea too, but have one important question: if I
install the OS with acpi=off, will I be able to enable acpi later on? You see,
I WOULD very much like to use suspend2ram, suspend2disk, CPU
scaling/throttling, display dimming and other capabilities that are offered by
this laptop.
