Hi Jean-Baptiste Some time after I filed it I came to believe that the noise going away on the first booting of the previous kernel was just a coincidence. My motherboard system chip mini fan started making noise more and more as time went by regardless of the kernel it was running. In the end it was always making the noise. I believe now that it was a simple case of bearings getting old and worn-out with age.
