precision 670 fan & thermal & acpi & debian management
Hello,
I have got a Dell precision 670 with a 3.2Ghz Xeon. I sucessfully installed a debian.
After recompiling the kernel (2.6.15.3) to use the smp architecture and the 4 Giga memory ram everything works fine.
Nevertheless i have got still a problem with the power management and acpi. The fans are always up and relatively noisy.
When i ask "acpi -V", it returns me "No support for device type: thermal". I read some information about i8kutils, but I am not sure that i am concerned with it.
Does anyone has a similar behavior and solved it?
Thanks.

I read on[1] that there were some times problems with dell and the dsdt table. The dsdt table is used by acpi. So I checked my dsdt table.
After compiling it, i have got 54 errors.

Does anyone has a correct version of the dsdt.
