[Solved] A300D-1S9 fan and suspend/hibernate problems

Hey everyone!

I've been trying to configure suspension and hibernation of my Toshiba Satellite A300D-1S9 using the uswswp module.

While it suspends/hibernates correctly and is indeed able to resume without any errors (afaik), after resume something causes the laptop to periodically heat up to 60ºC (when idle) which, in turn, causes the fan to spin like there's no tomorrow until the temp goes back to 50ºC and it goes to what apparently is its normal speed.

I've checked CPU usage and it doesn't stray beyond the 6% during this whole process. Both CPUs are under the effect of the ondemand governor and stay at 800Mhz (the minimum) during the overheat. This seems to point that the issue is not directly related to the CPU.

Now either the fan starts to malfunction after resume although I can still hear it spin (or maybe I have two and one of them isn't spinning? How can I check this?) or what is causing the heat is the graphics card or harddrive.

I also tried to restart both acpid and hal after resume just in case suspension/hibernation messed up fan acpi events or something similar but to no avail.

pm-suspend.log

Could not initialise connection to hald.
Normally this means the HAL daemon (hald) is not running or not ready.

Appreciate your help

EDIT: Adding acpi_osi=Linux to the arch linux grub entry seemed to do the trick! Fan now works correctly everytime although I lost all Fn functionality. As per http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions … page3.html
