This is copypasting from my original post back when this first happened
to me, in #213818. I haven't used Linux on this machine for some time,
but I recall testing Jaunty and finding that it didn't fix anything.

Similar issue here, not quite sure whether it's the same.
Running 8.04 on a Thinkpad t60p (Intel Core2Duo proc), my fan speed for
some reason will not go above 3500RPM while set to "auto". I haven't had
a shutdown yet, but I've been unable to boot once. Temperature mostly
hangs on 62C, which is simply too darn high for an idling laptop on AC.
Funny bit is that I'm for some reason unable to manually set fan speed,
even though I turned the necessary module option (thinkpad_acpi
fan_control=1) - I get a Permission Denied, whether I try as root or as
a plain user.

The t60p uses an ATI FireGL V5250, which I've used with both the free
and the non-free drivers.

I really do hope this gets cleared up. And, probably, split up.
