Hi Adriel,

a collegue of me had the same problem and he solved it by switching to another kernel. I do not know what the problem was.

I see in your logs, ACPI tries to load but has some problems with IRQ???

When and without ACPI succesfully loading, in principle the fan work, without the module 'fan', the fan should blast full speed.
