This bug affects me in all distros from Ubuntu 8.04 to Ubuntu 10.04. The fan does not work during grub (unless processor is already overheated). The temperature is > 94C after boot and soon overheats and shuts down (for Ubuntu 10.04 after upgrade). No DSDT compilation error. Fan works if I add acpi_osi="Linux" to the boot command but still overheats after a while.
I recently tried installing Ubuntu 10.04 from scratch, but I am not able to install it as the processor overheats while installation. (I am using acpi_oci="Linux" while installation.) On the same laptop, my Windows 7 installation works great. The temperature is around 70C. I am not sure how whether it is a Linux kernel issue or a driver issue.
