Comment 15 for bug 1179282

Hello raphzahn,

attached is the modified i8k.c. This version probes the fans at the beginning, and then just calls the ones present. This will avoid calling slow calls.

Only in the probe moment all of the fans are called and the system might freeze, but it may be during boot, and the freeze will not be noticed.

I hope this fixes the bug. If you can test this, in the log will appear which fans are being called.
