iBook's fan acting funny after fresh install of 10.3 Panther

[macjay]

I just downgraded my iBook G3 600 from Tiger to Panther to see if it would increase the machine's performance. I did a clean install of Panther, upgraded to 10.3.9, and now for some strange reason, when I boot the machine (even cold) the fan comes on and constantly runs, which it never did before. However If I wake the machine from sleep the fan doesn't come on -- it only happens from a full boot-up (every time).

Any tips on how to fix this?

Thanks.

Interesting. Maybe try resetting your PRAM and if that doesn't work, reset the PMU.

Thanks for the tips. Interestingly enough, after about 5 restarts the problem ceased.

Cheers.

Awesomeness. It's pretty cool how many small quirks can be ironed out by restarting, albeit five times.
