nonconfigure

That is one of the main reasons why I chose it as well, and while it ran fine for many months (I did not even notice the fan is off!), there are some workloads that heat up the CPU beyond 80 degrees, so I wanted to figure this out. I did not go this deep into customization before, I only installed the pre-compiled image and it worked well enough for what I needed so far. I plan to explore this in the future, but certainly not starting off on this machine which is the only server I got besides a less powerful NAS.

God bless backups - (most) things are working again. Any idea how I could move forward? Should I stick with what armbian-config recommends?

Thank you for the explanations. I decided to try to get try an edge kernel from armbian-config, in 6.19. It ran into some errors upon finishing, but I did not actually see the errors (armbian-config did not show them). So I figured I try the reboot: I was not prepared for the device to be bricked. No network, no video output, no activity. Currently trying to rescue it from the original install media. I'm also using zfs but I'm not sure if that would've caused it to fail this hard.

I thought edge kernels are for most recent updates. Fan control seems to be a basic feature that I'd expect stable kernels to handle. I'll do some more research about if I'll lose anything changing the kernel.

Hi, I'm running a FriendlyElec CM3588 board, really enjoying Armbian, but the CPU fan does not work whatsoever. It's meant to be powered from the 5V outlet marked FAN (close to MASK button). I replaced the fan with another one, same result - so hopefully it's not the hardware at fault. I never dug into fan control on Linux, anybody knows what to do?
