I'm a bit worried by the "if you disable Q-Fan in the BIOS" condition. It should work even with it enabled. Anyway, Eric, I am still waiting for you to post the latest version of your patch so that we can improve it. > I realise now that my first mail was somewhat hasty, and in fact my setup > is (was) so unusual that it probably doesn't justify keeping reset=1.

My point exactly. I still want to remove the reset parameter in the long run, but I think we need to merge Eric's patch (after rework) before we do. Thanks, -- Jean Delvare
