Dear John, you was right. After investigating I found that the ACPI subsystem isn't measuring CPU temperature. The command 'cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/TZ01/temperature' returns zero celsius degrees when the new kernel is loaded, so the fan never runs. This is why the symptom doesn't happen on the old desktop machine, which don't have fan control. By while, I removed the new kernel and I'm using the old kernel, which reads the real temperature and controls the fan correctly, and I will wait for a new kernel update to see if the bug was fixed.
