i've been using arch linux for a while, but have decided to install ubuntu again, for a change... so it's the first time i use grub2 and have my problems with it...
my toshiba laptop has had a problem with linux since i got it... it can't seem to get the cpu fan to work properly.
i have found two solutions for this, which i have been using for over a year now. either i can suspend linux after bootup; when i turn it back on, the fan runs all the time, don't ask me why...
the other thing i found online was to add acpi.power_nocheck=1 to the kernel line in grub, which was easy in the old grub. i have searched the web all day, but can't seem to find what i am looking for. i could just add it to the grub.cfg file, but as i understand, one shouldn't mess with this file, as it is automatically generated.
anyone know where i can add this?
thanks in advance!
cheers,
