I can confirm the problem on jaunty with kernel 2.6.30.3. It's an upsteam kernel problem or not a kernel problem. The fan does stays always at level 5 (~3000-3100 rmps) and does not reach the maximum level 7 (3500/3300rpms).

For all ThinkPad T61p users. There is an additional problem with the fan. I had a overheating problem with my notebook last summer while using the NVidia Quadro and CPU. The CPU was scaling down for 5 second every 10 seconds with Windows and Linux because of the high cpu temperature. I got a fan replacement and the rpms increased from ~3300 to ~3500. All was fine for about a year. This summer the level 7 fan speed is at ~3300 rpms as last summer and I have the same problem again.
