My laptop started getting hot recently. There is no dust issue. The
fan just doesn't seem to start at all.
I tried to use lm_sensors and sensor-detect, but it's not detecting
any sensors. I tried to recompile the kernel, enabling
all the sensors but no luck. using acpi woks in reporting some values:
acpi -V
Adapter 0: on-line
Thermal 0: ok, 58.0 degrees C
Thermal 0: trip point 0 switches to mode critical at temperature 103.0 degrees C
Thermal 0: trip point 1 switches to mode passive at temperature 105.0 degrees C
Cooling 0: LCD 0 of 10
Cooling 1: Processor 0 of 7
Cooling 2: Processor 0 of 7
Cooling 3: Processor 0 of 7
Cooling 4: Processor 0 of 7

I am not very familiar with the kernel config related to thermal, so I
don't know exactly what other info I need to provide. If I am missing
something, please ask.

I'm missing acpi-cpufreq in your module list. Is
CONFIG_X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ enabled? What CPU frequency governor is enabled
(`cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor`)?
By the way, 58°C is not particularly hot. Of course, it depends on where
it is measured. For measuring it, check that you have
CONFIG_SENSORS_CORETEMP enabled.
Regards,
Florian Philipp

Thank you Florian.
I just upgraded for 3.2.1 kernel. I have enabled few modules:
Under drivers/hwmon:
acpi_power_meter.ko
asb100.ko
asus_atk0110.ko
atxp1.ko
coretemp.ko
hwmon-vid.ko
Under drivers/acpi:
ac.ko
battery.ko
button.ko
container.ko
fan.ko
processor.ko
thermal.ko
video.ko
I loaded them all for now, and still /proc/acpi/fan is not there. sensor-detect generated the following file (comments removed):
============================================================
# Load modules at startup
LOADMODULES=yes
# Initialize sensors at startup
INITSENSORS=yes
HWMON_MODULES="coretemp"
# You should use BUS_MODULES and HWMON_MODULES instead if possible.
MODULE_0=coretemp

As you can see, coretemp is loaded.
I read on some forums that you can manually control the fan speed.
I will start some extensive process, to see if the fan will kick.
