So the immediate solution is what?

I chucked this into my /etc/rc.local file before exit 0:

rmmod thinkpad_acpi
modprobe thinkpad_acpi fan_control=1
echo "level 7" > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan
# echo "level disengaged" > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan
# this is being problematic
# echo "level auto" > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan

I ekpt the other settings just in case.
