Description Christian Müller 2018-09-09 08:50:39 CEST

On my rather old HP Compaq 6715s I was stuck with kernel 4.1.8 from Mageia 5. All newer kernels did not work:

- FAN goes to 100%
- Notebook becomes unusable slow, if it boots at all
- WiFi gets killed till BIOS reset

I did a bug report on that long time ago, which I can't find anymore.

Now I gave kernel 4.17.18 from backports_testing a try, and what should I say: It works like a charm.

The bug report you are referring to is probably #20526.
When you log in on https://bugs.mageia.org/ you can click on "Open bugs reported by me" to see the list of bugs that you have reported.

Also, concerning your problem, it might be a good idea to see if HP provides an update file for your BIOS.

The Notebook is from 2006, no update.
