Now that I have a good an excellent working install of Devuan I have a question about the fan.

The box is an HP Pavilion G6 with an AMD A6-4400M APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics.

The fan is cycling constantly which it doesn't do in Mint and doesn't overheat. I'm using Devuan to post this and the fan is cycling and the box ix barely even warm.

Is there a fan control package or a setting I can tweak to control this? It's certainly not critical but does get annoying in a quiet room.

TIA

FWIW Deleted partition from with gparted in Mint; ran same devuan net-install; let installer handle partitioning; now I'm posting this from Devuan. No problems, no errors. duh. Linux - not for the faint hearted.

No. Just for laughs (strange sense of humor) I'm going to try the whole thing over again and let the installer handle the partition. I'll be back.

Tried the Devuan "system V" option from grub - same thing.

fsck version in Devuan shows 1.42.12 - Mint has 1.42.13. Trying to run fsck on hda9 from Mint gives me same error:

e2fsck 1.42.13 (17-May-2015)
/dev/sda9 has unsupported feature(s): metadata_csum
e2fsck: Get a newer version of e2fsck!

Just a thought - I re-partitioned the drive beforehand with gparted on the gparted live cd before running the installer - maybe something to do with that?

FWIW the box is an HP Pavilion g6 and I used the net installer.

Seems to be pointing to the correct root (/dev/hda9 or hd0,msdos9). There are other entries for Devuan under advanced options - I'll try those and get back later. Thanks.

No - the installer seemed to work fine - it's after it's all done and I try to start it from the grub menu. (The other entries work fine - I'm posting this from the Mint install.)
The wifi problem install is on another machine that I'm not using right now so it's not a worry yet.

Hi all.
I've been trying to use devuan. First attempt installed OK but gave up trying to get wifi to work. This time I used netinst - it worked but when I tried to run it, it said "get a newer version of e2fsck" among other things. I then get a command line "maintenance" shell.
Anybody have any idea of what I need to do now?
TIA
