Similar issue here, not quite sure whether it's the same.
Running 8.04 on a Thinkpad t60p (Intel Core2Duo proc), my fan speed for some reason will not go above 3500RPM while set to "auto". I haven't had a shutdown yet, but I've been unable to boot once. Temperature mostly hangs on 62C, which is simply too darn high for an idling laptop on AC.
Funny bit is that I'm for some reason unable to manually set fan speed, even though I turned the necessary module option (thinkpad_acpi fan_control=1) - I get a Permission Denied, whether I try as root or as a plain user.
This annoys the hell out of me, frankly. I'll be testing with some LiveCDs and Windows now and report my findings. So far the internet seems to suggest that SMP + ACPI support has been broken ever since 6.06.
