Hi all,

I run RedHat 9 on a Dell laptop, an Inspiron 8200. I use apm to suspend
my laptop, after which I close it. Upon opening it again, it will
restart perfectly fine where I left off, but the fan goes absolutely
crazy and blows like mad even though it's not hot at all. Furthermore,
the fan doesn't ever seem to ease up until I reboot.

Is there a way to fix this?
