My notebook is a Toshiba and the cpu fan running at 100% has nothing to do with temperature. Once the linux kernel is booted that fan runs like hell, no matter if the machine is idle and left inside the fridge...
It is absolutely an issue that has to do with kernel 2.6. I tried fedora, ubuntu, mepis, mandriva. For example, after installing mandriva the fan run normally until I installed updates and the kernel was changed. I can't stand the noise it makes. Also had a problem with one distro, when the cpu overheated because the fan was running too slow (fedora 13 alpha).
