Hi all, Regarding ticket #1722: The w83627hf driver (both in 2.4/CVS and 2.6) has a really agressive init process. This isn't the first time we have a problem report related to this, typically fans going to full speed on driver load (this is the case in this ticket). It would be great if someone who can test the driver (I cannot) would take a look and rework this part of the driver. As a reminder, our policy for drivers is that the init process should NOT reset the chip by default, and should do as little as necessary to make the chip work. The BIOS is supposed to have done the configuration work properly. Allowing more initialization to be forced with init > 1 or initialization to be completely skipped with init = 0 is a good things too, but the default (init = 1) should stick to the "light initialization" idea. Thanks, Jean Delvare
