Hi,
Does it really solve the problem of CPU fan shutting down on load of fan.ko? Could you just re-test, since that is the problem from the beginning.
Yes; normally fan.ko is insmodded in my boot sequence. At that point in the boot sequence the fan turns off and cannot be turned on again (see results of echos to fan state earlier). After the DSDT patch, the fan stays on through the boot sequence, fan.ko is shown as loaded via lsmod, and echos to fan state behave as expected.
