[edit] LiveCD Testing
Hi all,
I bought recently a Toshiba P100 (PSPA3A-05S00P) T2250 @ 1.73Ghz, 1 GB RAM, 100 GB HDD NVidia GeForce Go 7300 (Display native resolution is 1680x1050) HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GMA-4082N
Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection
booting the live-CD: I tried some live CDs wich I had at hand
- Kubuntu 6.06 (Linux 2.6.15.6): bootup was fine, but no sound
- Kubuntu 6.10 (image from [1], c/w 2.6.17 I guess, will confirm): first I got a "BUG: soft lockup detected on CPU" at startup as described here https://launchpad.net when I started with WLAN "on" startup was fine, WLAN worked. Installation was without errors, but I hav'nt tested everything
I will report further testing results.

- I updated to BIOS Version 3.3 and fancontrol seemend to work nicely with Kubuntu 6.10. Sebastian --61.14.54.180 21:40, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Question
What kernel modules are you using to get fancontrol/lm_sensors working?
- I have no idea, I am not that good with the whole linux details jet. On my plain install fan and trotteling semend to work right to me. I haven't spend much time on the sound thing, but I managed to get sound with the DSDT file [[2]] but the the fan is running continuously. Sebastian --210.10.168.248 13:01, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Question
Has anyone tried the new v4.0 bios yet?
- Got this BIOS since several month (upgraded because older bios had a bug that could lead to setup a bios password without any user action, did not upgraded to 4.20 because it was the first version to support 32+64 bits CPU: Likely to bug imo!) and it does not solve any GPU cooling: You'll always have to change the DSDT to add the bios 2.4 pré-Vista hack to make the fan run continously medium (loosing the Tre Controlled fan rpm). See hereunder a good summary:
- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=771223
- But reading the new 2.6.25 kernel features, I see the inclusion of microsoft acpi extensions (called wmi). As the P100 GPU fan is controlled this way, we can expect a fix soon... 2.5 years after the very firsts P100-XXX. Too bad, It'll not be in ubuntu new LTS, 2.6.24 based.
[edit] Update
(For Ubuntu and possible work with gentoo using a kernel upgrade with little modification below)
For those who are having trouble repairing and using DSDT, here is the next Ubuntu realeases kernel which fixes the problem, just make sure you also include the new restricted drivers manager from the repo if you want the nvidia gfx card to work with it.
The Hardy Heron kernel was recently uploaded for testing. We'd really appreciate it if you could try testing with this newer kernel and verify if this issue still exists. Unfortunately, the Hardy Heron Alpha1 LiveCD was released with the older 2.6.22 kernel. You'll have to manually install the newer Hardy Heron kernel in order to test. This should not be the case for Alpha2. However, here are the instructions to install (if you choose to do so):
1) edit the file /etc/apt/sources.list and add the following line:
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy main restricted
2) sudo apt-get update 3) sudo apt-get install linux-image-2.6.24-1-generic 4) reboot and select the new kernel from the grub menu
After you've tested, please feel free to revert back - ie boot into the old kernel, sudo apt-get remove linux-image-2.6.24-1-generic, and remove the line from /etc/apt/sources.list . Please update this report with your results. Thanks in advance!
I've opened a task against the new linux package (now simply called 'linux') and will close the 2.6.22 package as this issue is not an SRU candidate. See: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates . Setting to Incomplete as there is no debugging info for 2.6.24 yet. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeamBugPolicies , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingSoundProblems and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingACPI
