Comment on Different Fan Behaviour on ThinkPad X61 than X31 by Stephen

You need a ‘fan control’ program. There are two or three candidates out there that I know of.
In order of how useful they look:

One is ‘tpfancontrol’, just put it into google. This was written for T40 series, however I have tried it on my X61 very quickly, and it *seems* to work. (two disclaimers here, I have only tried it very briefly so far with all looking good, and dont blame me if you use it and you melt your CPU!)
The other is ‘notebook hardware control’, which has some scripts for older thinkpads on there. However, this program doesn’t seem 100pc compatible with the thinkpad x61 a) I couldnt modify the ACPI scripts to recognize my X61 although it did recognize my X32, b) I was having trouble with its hard-drive control systems.

There is also ’speedfan’, I don’t know much about this.
Same disclaimers apply to these two latter programs.

Good luck.

[...] Christian Stocker suggests using a perl script to solve this problem, and Tor Håkon Haugen adds some more SSL config, but there is a much simpler solution available if your setup is much like mine. Just add this line [...]

Å, sånne prosjekt er geniale. Og det er jo aldri feil å lære noe nytt. Jeg brukte random-linken til wikipedia en periode på omtrent samme måte. Synd at jeg er en mester til å starte nye prosjekt, men elendig til å gjennomføre de over lengre tid…

I have X61t and the fan noise is killing me. I have a hp Laptop with the similar processor and the fan barely makes any noise!

Ok, with mkfs.ext2 is *does* boot. I just had to press esc to enable the boot menu on my eee.
Great instructions, bookmarked.

not bootable with ext2. stuck on error at grub setup:
Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition

linux boys should go back to how-to-make-software-simpler-more-logical-more-reliable school.

grub -> setup resulted in something about cannot mount…
changed
mkfs.vfat to mkfs.ext2 fixed it.

Thanks zcat! In my case, all I had to do was enable the grub changes to include the “resume=UUID” line …
It actually also works with splash enabled.
