RH wierd one

[Sue Bennett]

This is one for the folks who support RH on multiple hardware 
types.

At last weekends Installfest I gave up on SuSE and with some 
help, installed RH 8.0.  So far so good, but one wierd thing is 
going on.

First of all, my machine is a Sony Vaio 650 (not a loptop) that 
is about 1 year old.  I have set the machine up as dual bootable 
with Linux and the Windows XP that came on the machine.  As this 
machine boots up a fan? comes on in "high" gear.   This occurs 
with both Linux and XP.   After the system comes up completely 
this fan noise goes into "low" gear in Windows.   It also 
quieted down when my machine was running SuSE but with RH it  
stays in "high" gear until the system is shut down.

At first I thought it might be the CD/RW or the CD/DVD drive 
spinning.  Someone at work suggested I open both trays at once 
and see if the noise stopped.  Negitive.  

So, any ideas?  

Thanks.

Still a newbie,
Sue
