Bug Description
There is no support for the thermal fans in any of the iMac G5 computers or Powermac G5 computers in Breezy, Dapper (Flight 5), and also Edgy. The fans will run at full speed and are very loud.
Apparently there are fixes around for this but they have not been implemented into Ubuntu, and they are beyond the average user.

***UPDATE: Disregard those above fixes. Compiling any kernel 2.6.17 and later with a g5_defconfig will enable thermal on G5 machines, iMac G5s and Powermac G5s. No need to do any patching.

I have the same problem with Daper (Flight 5) in my Powermac G5 1.8 SP. I am going to add a separate bug for that processor as well.
