fan control again

I´ve got: UNR 9.04, BIOS 0.3310 and I´m not able to run fan control .
Firstly I performed these steps (from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne):

Code:

(19/02/09) This is an update to the following fan control section below. The user space script "acerfand" originaly used to fix the noisy fan problem can cause race conditions and lockups as it accesses registers asynchronous to the kernel. A kernel module to do the fan control has recently been created and this avoids the race condition problem.

You can install the kernel module in the following way. These instructions also work for 8.10.

wget [url]http://piie.net/files/acerhdf_kmod-0.4.0.tar.gz[/url]
tar zxvf acerhdf_kmod-0.4.0.tar.gz
cd acerhdf_kmod
make
sudo make install

Now load the kernel module using

modprobe acerhdf

And the segmentation error appears (this the console returns).
When I perform well known acerfand trick, my AA1 crashed after couple of minutes (switched off by itself). Note: I changed the content of the file to fit my BIOS version as well.
Any suggestion how to operate fan? THX

 

Thank you for your useful help now I resolved it. Finally I used acerfand again with text:

Code:

LOGGER=$(which logger)
if [ ! -x $LOGGER ] ; then
	LOGGER="/usr/bin/logger"
fi
if [ ! -x $LOGGER ] ; then
	echo "Warning, logger can't be found. Will log to stdout"
	unset LOGGER
fi

LOGLEVEL="info"

log() {
	if [ ! -z "$LOGGER" ] ; then
		$LOGGER -p daemon.$LOGLEVEL -t acerfand "$@"
	else
		echo "$@"
	fi
}

info() {
	LOGLEVEL="info"
	log "$@"
}

notice() {
	LOGLEVEL="notice"
#	log "$@"
}

err() {
	LOGLEVEL="err"
	log "$@"
}

There is a little change. But this way it seems to work well.

AND now my AA1 works perfect.

 

I had the same problem.

Now I'm trying your change, So far so good (5 minutes whitout shooting down)...

Many thanks I'll let you know.

Saludos from Mexico.

 

It has been working greate after apply your mods "oti" many thanks.

Saludos and thanks again.
