Until a week or so ago, I was running a Toshiba Satellite 2800-S201 on -current without ACPI, activating the cooling fan via the fan.c program you find scattered about the Net. As of a week or so ago, fan.c panics the machine. I don't have a traceback -- this box has no serial console, and I thought it would be time to join everyone else up in ACPI-land. Judging from the mailing list archives, I should set sysctl hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.active=1 to manually force the fan. The fan never starts. This sysctl starts at -1. Is there anything I can do to debug this problem, or to provide info for someone else to debug this problem?
