Can anybody point > me to some help on controlling the fan under Fedora Core 1? With Core 1 you must edit your grub.conf file and add "acpi=on" to the line that loads the kernel. By default ACPI is disabled under core. The line should look something like this: "kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.22-1.2194.nptl ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi rhgb" you should change it to look something like this: "kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.22-1.2194.nptl ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi rhgb acpi=on" You should also disable apmd and make sure that acpid is running.
