During the install I selected the powerd service to control cp= u scaling, but I am not sure if it is working.

All temperatures and fan speeds can be seen w= ith sysctl as well. I think the iBook uses the adt746x, but you can just gre= p for 'temp', 'pwm', and 'rpm' for the data, maybe a sensor is finding a rea= lly high temperature. If you're building anything the temperature does sound= and the fans go nuts, but afterwards they should quiet down. >=20 > -Justin
