Lets start by saying that I upgraded to 7.10 and 2.6.22-14-generic 64bit, so 
everything I say is from memory. :)

In the kernels available in 7.04 (2.6.20-15), I could not suspend to ram at 
all. However, when I suspended to disk, on I resume the fan control did not 
work *at all* causing the computer to overheat.

The problem did not happen when I suspended to ram, since I was not able to 
suspend to ram on that kernel. Is it possible to hibernate from a LiveCD 
using an existsing swap parititon...? maybe that can help.

Just to keep you calm, on this kernel:
Linux pinky 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Sun Oct 14 21:45:15 GMT 2007 x86_64 
GNU/Linux

I can suspend to disk, and resume without any heat related problems. I can 
also suspend to ram (with some limitations), which again do not cause any 
heat related problems.

I managed to get *one* single time a problem with heat, which was caused by 
the linux-sensors to get stuck at 70c, while the real temperare was low. This 
caused the fan to work even when the machine was cold. 

 A few other people claim that 2.6.22-14 on 7.10 fixes the heat/fan control 
problem. There are some other known issues with this machine, which are all 
documented here: 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/Lenovo3000N100_0768

However, there is another person susbcribed to this bug which claims to have 
this fan control problem even with 2.6.22-14. it is unknown why on his system 
(same machine, same SW) he can reproduce the problem while others cannot.

ok, I will do it. However, since most of the users susbcribed to this bug are 
already running 7.10, as soon as 8.04 is out I will close, no matter what 
(unsupported distro, and no users, hence invalid). I will not change it's 
state to invalid until 8.04 is out or a verified fix exists, even tough that 
page states that a bug with no additional information for 4 weeks needs to be 
closed.

Thanks for your attention, even tough late (2 distros later...) you are 
helping. Don't worry, we know you have a lot of work ;-)
