Then I swapped the harddrive to an identical T410s and the errors stopped... I think pretty recent kernels (F15 or some update afterwards) have started reporting these. Also there was a bug that caused a way too many of these to be reported, but that should be fixed already.... Anyway, applying compressed air to the fan is never a bad idea. There was quite a bit of dust there in my case, but cleaning it up didn't help. The beast is now running sort-of-happily in an air conditioned office doing unimportant work. If you think it's F16, try running from a live cd of F14/15 for a while to be sure? And you can also manually force the fan to run at max speed, see if that helps? (modprobe thinkpad_acpi fan_control=1 needed, I think) -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
