Need a patch tested on a windtunnel powermac

Need a patch tested on a windtunnel powermac

[Paul Mackerras]

Does anyone here still have a "windtunnel" powermac (PowerMac3,6)
machine running Linux?  We need someone to test Jean Delvare's patch
to the therm_windtunnel driver.  The patch is at:

http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/26095/

I don't have a windtunnel machine myself - I have a PowerMac3,5 but
not a PowerMac3,6.

Paul.

I might have one.  I'll pull the G4 I have out of it's box and check tomorrow.

Amazingly enough, I do.  It's running some crusty-arse gentoo install from
2005, so I need to install something newer on it.  Hopefully that goes smoothly
today...

Ok, installed 2.6.30-rc4 plus Jean's patch and it appears to do something
correctly:

Thanks for testing and reporting. This completes the testing of all
macintosh thermal drivers.

For completeness, as I see you built the driver as a module, could you
try unloading and reloading it?

Thanks,

Sure:

[jwboyer@localhost macintosh]$ sudo rmmod therm_windtunnel
[jwboyer@localhost macintosh]$ sudo modprobe therm_windtunnel
[jwboyer@localhost macintosh]$ dmesg
<snip>
DS1775 digital thermometer [@49]
Temp: 53.6 C  Hyst: 60.0 C  OS: 65.0 C
ADM1030 fan controller [@2c]
CPU-temp: 53.6 C, Case: 31.8 C,  Fan: 0 (tuned -11)

Seems to work fine.

I have a dual-G4 MDD (/proc/cpuinfo says PowerMac3,6).

On:

Linux Jay 2.6.30-rc4 #1 SMP Sun May 3 16:20:08 CEST 2009 ppc 7455, altivec supported PowerMac3,6 GNU/Linux

plus the patch above seems working fine as usual: temperature reports
are written in the logs and fan speed changes correctly. therm_windtunnel
is not compiled as module. I tested it for a few hours only.

Thanks for the report, Giuliano! I've added the information to the wiki.
