It seems that most people here (in this bug report) are Thinkpad
users, but undoubtedly there are people with overheating problems
[like me] using other brands. Also, it seems that Thinkpad users like
to think Lenovo is the only brand out there.

After Jaunty, I tried running 2.6.31 (Arch Linux) and now I'm on
Karmic (2.6.31-4-generic #23-Ubuntu). The behavior is exactly the same
and the only workaround I've found so far (without mentioning acpi=off
 and thermal.off=1 as kernel boot params) is just to suspend to ram
and then restore. After restoring from suspend-to-ram state, the fan
works as it should (temperature keeps below 53 C, under load). It
would be nice if someone could try this procedure on a Thinkpad.
